The Problem We Solve
Gaps in the healthcare system leave countless individuals without options. We exist to fill the gaps, because we believe when people cannot reach care, care must reach them. It is our hope that our free healthcare clinics can meet basic health requirements where they are needed most in our country.
Millions of hardworking Americans lack health insurance and cannot afford private care. Minor symptoms often go untreated until they become serious health problems and chronic illnesses, at which point primary care may be too late.
Unfortunately, care accessibility continues to be available only to those with the means to afford it. Without insurance, the full cost of care can put treatment out of reach. Even with insurance, deductibles and co-pays force many families to choose between medical care and basic necessities.
For many underserved populations in rural communities, the nearest doctor or dentist is hours away. We bridge this physical divide by bringing entire medical, dental, and vision clinics directly to the people who need them most.
How We Help
Our large-scale pop-up clinics transform fairgrounds, gymnasiums, and civic centers into comprehensive health centers offering robust health services to locals in need. Our clinics operate with an open-door policy, providing free dental, vision, and medical care entirely on a first-come, first-served basis.
Our telehealth program delivers high-quality care directly to Tennessee communities through self-sustaining mobile units. An onsite Registered Nurse conducts triage and connects clinic patients with a remote volunteer physician through a secure video consultation. This mobile healthcare service helps address immediate health needs until a primary provider can be established.
FINANCIAL TRANSPARENCY
Remote Area Medical receives zero government funding, meaning every clinic, every pair of glasses, and every dental procedure is made possible by the trust and generosity of private donors like you.
