Remote Area Medical – RAM® – a major nonprofit provider of pop-up clinics delivering free, quality dental, vision and medical care to those in need – will hold a free, two-day clinic on April 20-21. RAM will be set up at Roane State Community College’s Main Campus, located at 276 Patton

Lane, Harriman, TN 37748, for two days only. This clinic is in collaboration with Free Medical Clinic of Oak Ridge.

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. Sunday’s clinic operations will be an abbreviated day, so patients are advised to arrive as early as possible. The patient parking lot will open no later than 11:59 p.m. (midnight) on Friday night, April 19, and remain open for the duration of the clinic. Once in the parking lot, additional information regarding clinic-opening processes and next steps will be provided. Clinic doors open at 6 a.m. 

Due to time constraints, patients should be prepared to choose between DENTAL and VISION services.  Medical services are offered, in addition to dental or vision services, free to every patient attending the clinic.  For more information, to donate or to volunteer, please visit www.ramusa.org or call 865-579-1530.
