Newport News will host a free comprehensive health clinic on August 2 and 3, organized by Remote Area Medical (RAM) in partnership with Tidewater Adventist Community. The clinic is aimed at providing essential dental, vision, and medical services to individuals who may not have access due to financial constraints or geographic barriers.
This invaluable community service will take place at the Brittingham-Midtown Community Center, starting early each day. The parking lot will open at 11:59 p.m. on August 1, allowing attendees to gather information and prepare for the clinic. Doors will officially open at 6 a.m. on both days, and services will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis until the clinic reaches its capacity.
A variety of free services will be provided, including:
No insurance or identification will be required for patients seeking services. It is important for attendees to note that those wishing to receive dental or vision services will need to choose between the two. General medical care will be available to all patients regardless of their choice.
Due to the anticipated high demand for dental services, RAM encourages individuals to arrive early. The clinic’s capacity is limited, and once full, services will cease for the day. The Sunday schedule will operate on an abbreviated timeline, further emphasizing the need for early arrival.
Potential challenges such as inclement weather or volunteer cancellations may affect service delivery or wait times for patients. Attendees should remain informed of any possible alterations to the schedule.
Individuals interested in further details about the clinic, including volunteering opportunities or how to make donations, can visit RAM’s official website or contact them directly at the provided phone number. A Facebook event page has also been created for additional updates and information.
This health clinic represents a significant opportunity for residents of Newport News and surrounding areas to access necessary healthcare services without financial barriers. It is designed for those who might otherwise be unable to seek care due to cost or location constraints.
By joining forces, RAM and Tidewater Adventist Community aim to improve the overall health and well-being of the community, underscoring the importance of accessible healthcare for all individuals.
