RAM’s free clinics often draw long lines and large crowds. The nonprofit issued guidelines for the Dayton event, stating that no overnight parking or camping will be allowed at the site. The event organizers encouraged everyone that would like services “to arrive as early as they are able (5 a.m. or later) each day.”
RAM is still in need of additional vision and medical professionals to volunteer their time and skills in Dayton. For more information about volunteering at a RAM mobile medical clinic, go to ramusa.org or call 865-579-1530.
