Success Story: RAM Clinic Serves Another Successful Year

346

In 2022, the RAM clinic successfully served the Upper Cumberland communities another year. The RAM clinic (Remote Area Medical Clinic) is a major nonprofit organization, based out of Rockford, Tennessee, that operates pop-up medical clinics across the nation. Their free-of cost clinics deliver dental, vision, and medical services to underserved and uninsured individuals, providing relief and security to countless communities. RAM’s mission is to “to prevent pain and alleviate suffering by providing free, quality healthcare to those in need.” The clinic would not have been feasible without the student-led host group: S. McCall Price, Brayden Hammer, Jack Wiggins, J. Cole Murray, Alex Stovall, and Emma Gunnells. Faculty volunteer and instructor, Mrs. Coonce states, “We are proud of how these students represented TN Tech. Individual students volunteered 30+ hours, not to mention all their participation in the year-long preparation.” Thank you to everyone involved and keep #LivingWingsUp!
