How one clinic in Cherry Hill is trying to make healthcare a human right | Inside the Wanamaker organ

from Bridging Philly · host Audacy

In a system where cost often determines survival, the Cherry Hill Free Clinic is a vital safety net. This week, we sit down with founder Dr. Jubril Oyeyemi to discuss the "catastrophic cases"—preventable heart attacks and strokes caused by rationed medication—that inspired him to open the clinic. He explains their unique model, fueled by 99% volunteer staff, which provides free primary care and cardiology to South Jersey’s uninsured, while also launching new initiatives to break down barriers for men’s health. Then, Shara Dae Howard takes us behind the locked doors of the historic, now-shuttered Wanamaker Building. With the merchandise gone, the Grand Court has transformed into a cathedral of sound. We get an exclusive tour with Grand Court Organist Peter Richard Conte to hear "Baby"—the world's largest fully functional musical instrument—roar to life in the empty department store.
