Remote Area Medical (RAM®), a leading nonprofit provider of pop-up clinics delivering free, quality dental, vision, and medical care to individuals in need, seeks volunteer dental and vision professionals for an October 25 and 26 clinic.
The two-day clinic will be held at Rockingham County Fairgrounds, 4808 S Valley Pike, Harrisonburg, VA 22801. The clinic is in collaboration with Blue Ridge Free Clinic, Sentara Rockingham Memorial Hospital and the Virginia Department of Health.
RAM is also in need of general support volunteers to help set up on Friday, October 24 and take down on Sunday, October 26. Overnight parking volunteers to greet patients are also needed, and interpreters can volunteer to aid patients through the process, either in the parking lot or during clinic operations. Individuals do not need to work in the medical field to volunteer as general support.
If you or your organization would like to volunteer your time to help provide free healthcare services to the Harrisonburg and surrounding communities, go online or call 865-579-1530.
RAM’s free clinics are a lifeline for underserved communities, offering free dental cleanings, dental fillings, dental extractions, dental X-rays, eye exams, eye health exams, eyeglass prescriptions, eyeglasses made on site, women’s health exams and general medical exams. By bringing healthcare directly to individuals in need, RAM removes the barriers of cost and distance that often prevent individuals from seeking care.
All RAM services are free and no ID is required. Free dental, vision and medical services will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis, until capacity is reached.
More information on the upcoming RAM Clinic, including how to volunteer or donate, is available online or by calling 865-579-1530.
Since 1985, RAM has served more than 977,000 individuals through over 1,500 clinics, delivering more than $215.4 million in free care, making a significant impact on public health and community well-being.
