Remote Area Medical seeks volunteers for Coalfield clinic

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 Dec. 9 clinic.

The one-day clinic is to be held at Coalfield High School, 1720 Coal Hill Road, Coalfield, Tennessee.

RAM is also in need of general support volunteers to help set up Dec. 8 and take down Dec. 9. Overnight parking volunteers to greet patients is 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, visit www.ramusa.org or call 865-579-1530.

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 a RAM free clinic include dental cleanings, dental fillings, dental extractions, dental X-rays, eye exams, eye health screenings, eyeglass prescriptions, eyeglasses made on-site, women's healthexams and general medical exams.
