RE-IMAGINING HEALTHCARE

Since 1990, Buffalo Rehab Group has been committed to building a culture of innovation and lifelong learning to help improve patient care across Western New York. As a privately owned business, we are continuously adapting to the needs of our Buffalo community and strive to provide exceptional services for both our clients and employees.

BUFFALO BORN

Buffalo Rehab Group was founded in 1990 by three friends from Ithaca College: Marty Lambert, Pat O’Connor, and Paula Zablonski. With a shared vision, they took a leap of faith, setting out to create something special. Current CEO, Jeff Woodrich, joined the group in 1993, determined to bring clinical excellence into the community and the profession. Shortly followed by Ray Hammel (CFO) in 1998, Eric Herman (CCO) in 2002, and Steve Gonser (CMO) in 2009.

Our partners were born and raised in Western New York, and each of them instilled with a deep passion for serving the community they grew up in. From our first location on Union Road in 1995, to thirteen locations currently, our goal has never changed – to help our community get their lives back.

“Our vision is clear-cut, we are determined to bring clinical excellence into our community and our profession.”

IN THE COMMUNITY

IceCycle

Every winter, the Buffalo Rehab Group team gears up for IceCycle, Buffalo’s coolest spinning challenge! Braving the cold, we pedal with a purpose to support cancer research at Roswell Park. As proud sponsors and enthusiastic participants, we bring our community spirit and dedication to the ride, raising at least $25,000 annually.

YMCA Wellness Series

Each year, we are thrilled to partner with the YMCA Buffalo Niagara to present the YMCA Wellness Series, an online educational initiative designed to enrich our community. This free series offers valuable education and resources, empowering participants with the knowledge and tools needed for a healthier lifestyle. Together with the YMCA, we’re committed to enhancing wellness in Western New York through these accessible, expert-led sessions.

Meals on Wheels

Every Friday, the Buffalo Rehab Group team hits the road with FeedMore WNY to deliver meals through the Meals on Wheels program. We’re committed to ensuring our neighbors receive warm meals and a friendly smile, helping strengthen our community one delivery at a time.

117 Holes for Children's

Buffalo Rehab Group takes to the greens for “117 Holes for Children’s,” a unique golf marathon that supports the Patricia Allen Fund at Oshei Children’s Hospital. Our team commits to a day of non-stop golf, driving funds and awareness to help enhance children’s healthcare.

Buffalo Marathon

Buffalo Rehab Group is proud to be the standing “Stretch Zone” sponsor at the Buffalo Marathon. At the finish line, our team is ready to assist athletes with essential stretching and recovery. Leading up to the event, we also provide valuable content to help participants prepare for their best race day.
