RAM seeks volunteers for free, 2-day healthcare clinic in July

Press release from Remote Area Medical

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Remote Area Medical (RAM®), a leading nonprofit provider of pop-up clinics delivering free, quality dental, vision, and medical care to those in need, is seeking volunteer medical, dental, and vision professionals and general support staff for its July 11-12 clinic. The two-day clinic is to be held at Eastside High School, located at 1201 SE 43rd Street, Gainesville, FL 32641. This free RAM Clinic is hosted by the University of Florida RAM Campus Chapter.

RAM is also in need of general support volunteers to help set up on Friday, July 10, and take down on Sunday, July 12. 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 Gainesville and surrounding communities, please visit our website at https://www.ramusa.org/volunteer or call us at 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 those in need, RAM removes the barriers of cost and distance that often prevent people 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.
