Remote Area Medical (RAM) is swinging into town this January to host a series of free telehealth clinics designed to make healthcare more accessible for everyone in the community. That’s right—free medical services at your fingertips!
What’s Happening?
RAM has organized several telehealth clinics spread throughout the first two weeks of January. These clinics are set to help individuals who may find it tough to access traditional medical services, whether due to distance, transportation issues, or simply not having the necessary tech at home. No need to stress, as these clinics will have everything you need right on-site!
On-Site Telehealth Access
Here’s the scoop! At the telehealth clinics, you will find computers all set up and ready to go, along with friendly on-site nurses dedicated to assisting you. The nurses will guide you in connecting with online doctors, ensuring you get the attention and care you need without the hassle of long waits or crowded waiting rooms. Imagine talking to a doctor from the comfort of your city—all for free!
Mobile Telehealth Units
But that’s not all! RAM will also utilize their Mobile Telehealth Unit, which is like a doctor’s office that moves where it’s needed most. This unit comes equipped with two exam rooms and, again, an on-site nurse to help facilitate your telehealth experience. This means you can receive care without having to trek across town to see a doctor.
No Tech? No Problem!
You might be wondering, “Do I need to bring my own technology?” Absolutely not! You won’t need to have a smartphone, tablet, or internet connection to utilize these services. Everything you need will be provided at the clinics, so just walk in, and you’re good to go! It’s all about making it as easy and accessible as possible for our incredible community.
What Services are Offered?
One important note to keep in mind: these telehealth clinics will focus solely on medical services. If you’re hoping to receive dental or vision care, you’ll need to look elsewhere, but rest assured that the medical services available are designed to meet your needs! Whether you need a routine check-up or advice on health concerns, you’ll find the help you’re looking for at these clinics.
No Identification Required
