ENID — For millions of Americans, access to basic healthcare is a challenge at best and an impossibility at worst. Due to geographic or economic factors much of the U.S. population is uninsured or underinsured. Remote Area Medical (RAM) is stepping in to address this urgent issue by offering a free, comprehensive dental, vision, and medical clinic at Stride Bank Center, located at 301 S Independence Ave, Enid for two days this weekend, July 12-13. This clinic will provide dental, vision and medical care to those who might otherwise go without these essential services.
RAM’s clinics are a lifeline for underserved communities, offering free dental cleanings, dental fillings, dental extractions, dental X-rays, eye exams, eye health exams, eyeglass prescriptions, eyeglasses made on-site, women's health exams, and general medical exams. By bringing healthcare directly to those in need, RAM’s free clinic removes the barriers of cost and distance that often prevent people from seeking care.
No insurance or ID is required, the clinic in Enid is open to anyone in need. RAM encourages anyone who could benefit from these services to attend and receive the care they deserve. The parking lot will open no later than midnight on Friday, July 11 and remain open for the duration of the clinic.
Once in the parking lot, patients will receive additional information regarding clinic processes and next steps.
Clinic doors open at 6 a.m., and services are offered on a first-come, first-served basis; the clinic closes when capacity is reached. Sunday’s clinic operations will be an abbreviated day, so patients are advised to arrive as early as possible. Due to time constraints, patients should be prepared to choose between dental and vision services, and all patients are offered general medical care.
In some situations, such as inclement weather, volunteer cancellations or other circumstances, the parking lot may open earlier, or a smaller-thananticipated number of patients may be served. RAM encourages everyone who would like services, especially dental services, to arrive as early as possible. Clinic closing time varies based on daily capacity.
