Remote Area Medical

Remote Area Medical (RAM) is a non-profit provider of mobile medical clinics delivering free dental, vision, and medical care (as well as veterinary services when available) to under-served and uninsured individuals. Founded by British philanthropist Stan Brock, it was originally conceived to treat people in the developing world, but turned its attention to those in need of health care in the United States. History RAM was founded in 1985 by Stan Brock, who worked as an assistant to Marlin Perkins on Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. RAM's work was originally confined to developing countries, but it later shifted towards the US. Today RAM works domestic operations around the United States and internationally when need arises. The clinic in Wise, Virginia, was recently recognized as the nation's largest pop-up free clinic. The 2017 clinic in Wise hosted over 1,000 volunteers and served 2,300 men and women.
