A Mobile Clinic Parked At A Dollar General? It Says A Lot About Rural Health Care: NPR 🚐

3. Ever volunteered for a RAM clinic?

All services are free...medical, dental, optical, whatever. People camp out in the parking lots the night before and we start screening patients at 6 am. Generally are swamped all day. I used to do these after I retired, working in the dental clinic as their nurse for the weekend. Loved it! But Covid put an end to my career.

You don't have to be a medical person with a license to volunteer. There are plenty of opportunities for ordinary people to do things, from collecting trash and refilling handwashing stations to helping people pick out glasses and being a patient escort. Look here for a clinic near YOU! http://www.ramusa.org/ Guaranteed, once you do one, you'll be hooked.
