Remote Area Medical, or RAM is a volunteer organization that serves Americans to provide free quality healthcare to those in need.
The following is a little about RAM.
Our Philosophy: We see our organization as part of a larger effort to bring together people to address healthcare issues in their community and see those communities transformed for a better and healthier future.
Our Vision: To be the best at providing free clinic events, without discrimination, which enhance quality of life through the delivery of competent and compassionate healthcare to those who are impoverished, isolated, and underserved.
Our Mission: To prevent pain and alleviate suffering by providing free quality healthcare to those in need. We use our core values to drive our decision making, ensuring we make value based decisions that will protect, guard, and guide us to fulfill our mission.
Compassion:
We are driven by compassion for our Community of Need: those people in need of healthcare, but who can't afford it. The Community of Need moves us to act in bold, courageous, and selfless ways to address suffering. We desire to dedicate our lives to bring
about true transformation in our community and world. A healthy sense of urgency helps us stay our course as we reach out to those in pain and in need of our help.

The clinics are typically over a weekend, with one day setting up mini-clinics and two days of services. The hours are long and the need is great. And very rewarding…Our first clinic was in East St. Louis in May of this year, and the second was in Lee County, VA, and the next clinic is in late October in Morehead, KY. If you are interested, there are several news stories on the web, 20/20, 60 minutes, Daily Show, etc etc, and the ramusa.org has several pictures and videos. Take 5 minutes and see what it’s all aboutJ.
