The basic services can include:

DENTAL: Cleaning, fillings, extractions
VISION: Complete dilated eye exams, testing for glaucoma, testing for diabetic retinopathy, glasses made on site
MEDICAL: General medicine
PREVENTION: Breast exams, diabetes screening, physicals, women’s health
EDUCATION: Educational resources and information are provided throughout service areas

NOTE: Due to time constraints, be prepared to choose between DENTAL and VISION services. All patients will have the option of receiving DENTAL and MEDICAL care or VISION and MEDICAL care, but not DENTAL and VISION care on the same day.

We do not make appointments. Instead, we offer services on a first-come, first-serve basis.

To enter a RAM Clinic you will need a number, and to receive a number you will need to be present when we provide them in the parking lot.

We open the parking lot at clinic sites at 12 midnight. Often, folks begin arriving several hours before the parking lot even opens. We can’t tell you a specific time to come, but the earlier you come, the greater your chances of being seen by a doctor.

Once the parking lot opens, we hand out numbers as people enter.

It varies. Volunteer and patient populations determine how many numbers we distribute. For example, if 100 doctors sign up to volunteer, we give out more numbers than we would if only 50 doctors signed up.

Because our services are free and resources are limited, we only give numbers to those who are physically present at the time of number distribution.

Leaving after receiving your number will forfeit your place in line. If you return, you’ll need to get a new number.

You are not required to bring anything with you. But we recommend bringing all of the medications that you take every day, and take them just like you normally do. Because you will likely wait outside of the clinic site until the clinic begins, we suggest checking weather conditions and preparing accordingly. Since the wait can be a long one, it’s also a good idea to bring food, water, and entertainment like books or games.

Insurance is not required for any of the services we offer at RAM Clinics. All services are provided at no cost to patients.

We do not require identification.
