Amish Kid Turned Global Samaritan: The Grit

Dr. Myron Glick and his wife, Joyce, founded Jericho Road Family Practice in 1997 with a mission to provide excellent medical care to people from all backgrounds. In 2002 they created Jericho Road Ministries to address the non-medical needs of their patients. The Family Practice and Ministries were merged in 2013 — now known as Jericho Road Community Health Center.

Their path has not been easy. Discussing a monumental challenge in his past, Dr. Glick notes: “To wake up realizing, ‘Whoa, you could lose everything in this moment,’ I think that was definitely the toughest moment in this journey so far. And I am thankful that God was merciful … I think — out of that experience — it’s given me such a different perspective on any successes we’ve had after that.”

Find out why Dr. Glick doesn’t see his life and career struggles as “sacrifices” in the way that we typically think about sacrifices.
