Remote Area Medical Serves a Rural Virginia Community 2010

Stan Brock, founder of Remote Area Medical, piloted his DC-3 into Wise, Virginia, to lead a free medical clinic supported by hundreds of volunteer doctors, dentist, nurses, students and other health professionals. Nearly 3,000 people showed up for medical needs at the three-day clinic. “I just look at these people and I hurt,” said volunteer dentist Wallace Huff, “because they’re such good people and hard working people…and I just want to do all I can do and I want to do more.” RAM holds clinics throughout the United States as well as other countries such as Guyana and Haiti.
