Free dental, vision care

GREENWICH, NY  - Remote Area Medical - 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 Wednesday and Thursday, September 17 and 18. RAM will be set up at the Washington County Fairgrounds, located at 391 Old Schuylerville Road.
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. The patient parking lot will open no later than 11:59 pm on Friday, September 16, and will 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. Clinic doors open at 6 am.

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. Services available at the free RAM clinic include dental cleanings, dental fillings, dental extractions, dental X-rays, eye exams, glaucoma testing, eyeglass prescriptions, eyeglasses made on-site, women’s health exams and general medical exams. Free, take-home colon cancer screening test kits will also be available.
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. RAM encourages everyone who would like services, especially dental services, to arrive as early as possible. Clinic closing time may vary based on each service area’s daily capacity.
All patients will be required to wear a face covering and must undergo a COVID-19 screening before entering the clinic. For more information, to donate or to volunteer visit www.ramusa.org or call (865) 579-1530.
