RAM provides free Medical, Dental and Vision in Pahrump, Oct 3-4

http://RAMUSA.org​

I heard about Remote Area Medical (RAM) from Guy here on the forum.  RAM is a mobile organization providing free medical dental and vision services for people who are un- or under-insured.  When I needed a tooth extracted after loosing my insurance, I diverted my travels and went to a weekend RAM clinic in Reno.  I was very impressed with the quality of professional service I received, as well as the care, concern and advocacy of the volunteers.  So, I decided to become a volunteer myself.  This October will be my 4th year volunteering with RAM for their weekend clinics in Pahrump.

If you can be in Pahrump on October 3rd or 4th, a location where many nomads camp on BLM land east of town, consider making an appointment to see a medical, dental or vision professional.  No ID or insurance required.

In past years, people lined up outside for service.  With COVID-19, service is still first come, first served, but now scheduled by phone.  When you call, be prepared to RAM staff what service you need - medical, vision (exam, glasses), or dental (cleaning, filling, extraction).

Call soon before all appointment slots are taken -- 865-500-8592 -- voice mail messages are time and date stamped to assure first come, first served.

Please visit RAM's COVID-19 FAQ page for more information -- https://www.ramusa.org/faqs-clinics-during-covid-19/

I hope to see you there.  I will be volunteering at Patient Intake/Registration.  Be sure to say hi!

2022 Clinic in Pahrump

I was in Pahrump this morning and a signboard in front of Walmart announces that the RAM clinic will be in Pahrump October 1 & 2.

I don't have any more information than that.

You can choose to have either a dental or a vision exam but not not both as those appointments are limited. Medical exams are not limited but services are 1st come 1st served. Check the website for when the parking lot opens for clients and the address of the location.
