The clinic offers free medical, dental and vision care.
In 2018, Ashtabula was the first in the state of Ohio to bring a RAM Clinic to the community. Community members and medical professionals from across the country volunteered their time to help the underinsured and uninsured. RAM offers free medical, vision and dental care with the help of more than 800 volunteers.
“For people who have to choose ‘Do I pay for my prescription medication, or my kids' extracurricular activities or do I go to the dentist,’ that may be a hard choice for them,” Ashtabula County Commissioner J.P. Ducro said. “This is an opportunity for them to not have to sacrifice something else in order to get the medical, dental, or vision care they need. It’s small-town America showing their stuff.
Ashtabula has offered the RAM clinic twice, providing almost $1.5 million in free care. This weekend, clinic organizers said they helped more than 500 patients.“People are coming in embarrassed to open their mouths and very hesitant and they're walking out grinning ear to ear,” she said. “The payment is a thank you and a hug. That's soul food right there.”
