The Remote Area Medical (RAM) clinic held in Fort Worth, Texas, on November 4th and 5th, 2023, offered a vital lifeline for uninsured and underserved residents.
Motivated by his experiences, Stan Brock, known from his work on the original Wild Kingdom show, came up with the concept of an all-volunteer healthcare program that would provide free services to people in need in remote parts of the world. In 1985, RAM was born, with a mission to provide free medical, dental, vision, and veterinary care to underserved people living in isolated areas within the United States and around the world.
