Remote Area Medical (RAM) will host a free healthcare clinic in Emporia, Virginia, offering essential medical, dental, and vision services to anyone in need.
The event aims to eliminate common barriers to healthcare, including cost and transportation, especially for those in uninsured or underserved communities.
Clinic Dates and Location
The RAM pop-up clinic is scheduled for June 21–22 and will be held at Greensville County High School. Doors will open at 6 a.m., and the parking lot will be accessible starting June 20 at 11:59 p.m.
The clinic will remain open throughout the weekend, with services provided on a first-come, first-served basis until daily capacity is reached.
Note that Sunday’s schedule will be shortened, so early arrival is recommended.
Available Healthcare Services
RAM’s clinic will provide a wide array of no-cost health services:
Dental Services
- Cleanings
- Fillings

Who Can Attend?
The clinic is open to the public, particularly those without insurance. While the services are free, a valid ID is required to access care. RAM emphasizes that patients may only select either dental or vision care, due to high demand and limited time.
However, medical services will be available to all attendees regardless of their other service selection.
Breaking Barriers to Care
According to a statement by RAM, these mobile clinics act as a critical support system for individuals lacking access to routine healthcare.
As children begin summer break and engage in seasonal sports, the clinic’s availability of school physicals and other health services becomes especially timely.
RAM noted, “By bringing healthcare directly to those in need, we remove the barriers of cost and distance that often prevent people from seeking care.”
The upcoming RAM free health clinic in Emporia provides an invaluable opportunity for residents in need of affordable, quality healthcare.
With services ranging from dental work to vision support and general medical exams, the event underscores RAM’s mission to improve healthcare accessibility.
Anyone planning to attend should arrive early and bring identification to ensure timely service.
