RAM Medical Center Doles Out $117,000 In Free Medical Care

On September 15, a tractor trailer pulled up to Westmoreland High School and volunteers began unloading medical equipment and supplies to fulfill a 48-hour mission to provide free medical, dental and vision services to the uninsured and underinsured. Remote Area Medical (RAM) coordinated with Rappahannock Area Health Education Center (AHEC), Rappahannock Community College (RCC), Westmoreland High School and other community organizations to host the clinic. According to the Rappahannock Record, volunteers carted dental supplies, vision equipment, sheets and blankets, medical supplies and countless other items into the school. By midday Sunday, when all those waiting had received treatment, 252 patients had received over $117,000 in free medical, dental and vision services. More than 400 volunteers, some local, others traveling from out-ofstate, helped make this RAM clinic successful.
