Pop-up clinic coming to LHS in September
~ Press release provided by Remote Area Medical
LURAY — Remote Area Medical (RAM®) — a major 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 Sept. 28-29 clinic. The two-day clinic is to be held at Luray High School, 243 Bulldog Lane.
RAM is also in need of general support volunteers to help set up on Friday, Sept. 27 and take down on Sunday, Sept. 29. 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.
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. Services available at the free RAM Clinic include dental cleanings, dental fillings, dental extractions, dental X-rays, eye exams, eye health screenings, eyeglass prescriptions, eyeglasses made on-site, women’s health exams and general medical exams.
Founded in 1985, RAM has treated more than 940,000 individuals who do not have access to, or cannot afford, a doctor with $200.2 million worth of free healthcare services through 2023. Since its foundation, more than 212,000 volunteers — comprised of licensed dental, vision, medical and veterinary professionals, as well as general support staff — have supported RAM’s mission.
