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, 2024.

RAM will be set up at Roane State Community College’s Main Campus, located at 276 Patton Lane in Harriman for two days only. This clinic is in collaboration with the Free Medical Clinic of Oak Ridge.

All RAM services are free, and no identification 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, 2024, 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.

Because of 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.

Services available at the free RAM clinic include dental cleanings, dental fillings, dental extractions, dental X-rays, eye exams, eye health exams, eyeglass prescriptions, eyeglasses made on-site, women’s health exams, and general medical exams.

In some situations outside of RAM’s control, such as inclement weather, volunteer cancellations or other circumstances, the parking lot may open earlier or a smaller number of patients may be served. RAM encourages everyone who would like services, especially dental services, to arrive as early as possible. Clinic closing time may vary based on each service area’s daily capacity.
