RAM’s FREE 2-day Clinic set for This Weekend
Free dental, vision and medical services coming to Jellico, Tenn.
Remote Area Medical – RAM® – a major nonprofit provider of pop-up clinics delivering free, quality dental, vision and medical care to those in need – will hold a free, two-day clinic on March 23-24. RAM will be set up at the Jellico High School, located at 141 High School Lane, Jellico, TN 37762 for two days only. Clinic doors open at 6 a.m. This clinic is made possible in part due to the generous support of Camel Expeditionary.
All RAM services are free, and no ID is required. Free dental, vision and medical services will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis. Sunday’s clinic operations will be an abbreviated day, so patients are advised to arrive as early as possible. The patient parking lot will open no later than 11:59 p.m. (midnight) on Friday night, March 22, and remain open for the duration of the clinic. Once in the parking lot, additional information regarding clinic-opening processes and next steps will be provided.
Due to time constraints, patients should be prepared to choose between DENTAL and VISION services. Medical services are offered, in addition to dental or vision services, free to every patient attending the clinic.

In some situations outside of RAM’s control, such as inclement weather, volunteer cancellations or other circumstances, the parking lot may open earlier or a smaller number of patients may be served.
