Founded in 1985, Remote Area Medical® (RAM) is a nonprofit provider of free, quality dental, vision, and medical care to underserved and uninsured communities. Operating from its headquarters in Rockford, Tennessee, RAM mobilizes a corps of licensed volunteer clinicians and general support volunteers to deliver pop-up clinics across the country — no ID, no insurance, and no questions about income or immigration status required.
