Van Life Event - FREE RAM Medical and Dental Clinic

[@tonyndebr]

I am a lifelong dental assistant and want everyone to have health and medical coverage. This is amazing.

[@noahcount7132]

The camera was unable to pick up her halo, but Suanne IS an angel! Thanks, Bob and Suanne, for this informative and extremely valuable presentation.

[@davidcorbett2195]

I've worked one of those as an RN. Started at the vital sign station, then quickly got moved to assisting an Oral Surgeon doing tooth extractions. Seriously.. the number of people we were able to help in one day.. simply because we got to do the care and not have to spend half an hour per pt doing documentation.. which is really only for insurance / reimbursement purposes. Take insurance rules out of the picture.. and focus on the pt. Do realize.. not everyone can be seen, and if you need vision and dental, depending on how many staff are present, you may get one or both, or not. They work as fast as they can, but if they have 10 stations and 400 people show up.... don't expect "hundreds" of dental chairs at every clinic. .maybe 10-20 in many places. All are volunteers, many may be dental students etc or currently licensed physicians and nurses.

Hi how can I volunteer.

[@HippocratesGarden]

@@Sunshine-qk1cs Google "remote area medical" and click on "volunteer".

[@ajbarrett857]

At RAM website, I note that in some areas, they have volunteer veterinarians, so furbabies can get care, too!

[@BrittMFH]

How wonderful! 😻

[@ChristyD_RN]

They are sent to a participating veterinarian clinic in the area that has agreed to provide services. There isn't a vet on the clinic site...usually. I volunteer for RAM. Love it.

[@lokicooper4690]

@@ChristyD_RN Thank you for explaining that. I looked around on the site and couldn't see where they did the vet work. They sound like an amazing organisation.

[@TheFuzzieWuzzie]

@@ChristyD_RN ~ Thank YOU for volunteering! I hope to do the same some day!

[@janetwhitmore3993]

Really good to know. Thanks Suanne & Bob.

[@shess1640]

I watched the Documentary on them...can’t remember what station it aired on...what good, good work they do....an awesome organization!

[@dianacryder7523]

Thank you, Bob. Thank you, Suanne. Thank you, RAM. It's really comforting to know this. I recently lost my dental and eyecare insurance because I didn't have money to pay for the insurance or the care. I have some serious issues with both that have been weighing on me. It's good to know there are people there that can and want to help. I'm breathing a little easier after watching this. I hope you can feel my tears of gratitude for your kindness.

[@marthasalter405]

this is a great organization - and also thanks to Sue Ann for not "sugar coating" some of the difficult portions of using their services such as - you must choose ONE service you want on a particular day, and that it is a very long day. Very much worth it for those who don't have other access to services.

[@armandomederosjr.1247]

Wow that is incredible. Just when you think we have lost hope in humanity this shows that there are still wonderful people out there that really care about one another

[@jenniferassem2822]

I've been watching these videos for a few months now,,and I can honestly say,,I would like to b all in,,n then that fear sets in,,n i keep hearing what I've learned,, how fear will keep u paralyzed,,n for me to is,, fear is lack of faith!! so I'm working my way to this life n will own it,,soon,,

[@armandomederosjr.1247]

@@jenniferassem2822 I feel the same way. I've been thinking that since the rv life is really taking off I wonder if maybe a lot of undesirables see that and actually start targeting rvers. Gotta keep that in mind cause there are plenty of shady characters out there

[@13699111]

Thank God for those healthcare angles

[@loriyoung-flores6246]

Wow this is great!!! Wonderful people!!!

[@RLeeVanCamps]

Thank you so much Sue Ann. And Bob much needed information

[@hassanhardtop3519]

You are the kind of person who make a change I like what you are doing ,hat off . I am Sudanese watching you from Sudan Africa world is getting small

[@vldarden]

Now I want to volunteer at one of these clinics. Thanks for sharing Suanne.

[@redwoodrivers]

You had my attention immediately. Great topic. Thank you so much! It puts my mind at ease to know that this wonderful organization is out there.

[@catemitten5857]

THANK YOU SueAnne for the information! Takes a load off my mind. YEAH!!!🎈💓♥️🤭😁😘😘😘😘🎊🥇

[@gbarraco8888]

Way to go Sue Ann! What a great organization! Thanks for sharing.

[@TheFuzzieWuzzie]

Yes Sue-Ann, thank you for walking us thru the volunteering process. I look forward to doing this myself.

[@paulgray1699]

Adding this into Rubber Tramp Rendezvous would be beautiful.

[@joydavis1670]

This story has brought tears to my eyes. I am moved that there is such an organization with amazing compassion, empathetic volunteers, connected community and so much more. This is beautiful. Thank you for your story.

[@AnnaCN78456]

Quite shocking from an european point of view… God bless you Bob and this Sue to inform people that need and all volunteers.

[@ChristyD_RN]

I volunteer for RAM. It’s a wonderful organization. The biggest challenge is finding a mobile clinic location. Their website is very informative and they keep updating their clinic locations.

[@williamgestole4859]

Bob you and your community are saving life’s. I am in awe of all you and send you blessings and now I’m going to look into RAM! Thank you. Thank you.

[@matthewronsson]

They're also saving lives.

[@lindasanders6777]

Columbus Ohio has a free clinic on Monday night's that sounds very similar. All the medical personnel are volunteers. They offer the same services for free. They use the health department building, and it's starts at 5 pm. The staff there are also so caring and compassionate! You do have to wait a while, so I brought snacks, a sodoku book, something to read, water, etc. I was diagnosed with Diabetes there, and received medicine, and a couple sessions with a nutritionist. I also got an eye exam and free pair of glasses! I worked as a temporary for 8 years, and could not afford the super high medical benefits through the temp agencies, so this place helped me so much, and treated me wonderfully! Nice to know there's options on the road, thanks for this video!

[@stormmary1]

This is amazing. I googled RAM while watching this video and there is also a RAM Veterinary for pets, how wonderful!

[@kodeywhitewolf5756]

Great video. Sounds like an awesome organization / program. Thanks Bob for sharing this info

[@BubbaWarbucks]

We have those dental clinics in my area a couple times a year. The need is great and the lines are long.

[@joharmon2148]

I have never heard of RAM before it was nice of Suanne to share this with us. How wonderful for her to give back so much to the RAM.

[@McPocalypsus]

Thank you! I saw on their site that they also offer veterinary care as well, which is way cool!

[@misstbikini]

Thank you for your service sue ann!

[@arrrgonot7801]

Thanks for this. Stan Brock an incredible man. An interview 2008 said they operated on 250k for the year. Very few donations.

[@dhof3403]

My wife and I love your channel!!! Thanks

[@abbiebroussard3220]

That is incredible! I will be donating to this organization. I love hearing stories like this. Thank you for sharing.

[@laurajphillips]

They have been to LA and they are amazing! It is free and they have top notch DR's to help you!!

[@barbaraaspengen9810]

This lady is awesome she got help and volunteer to change and give back to the people who help her and she has learned how to do and be of help to others thank you.

[@coppertopvon]

BOB DEFINITELY A TOP NOTCH VID / TOPIC + A CODY SIGHTING.... Life just doesn't get any better

[@anitamitchell3452]

Spreading the word is the first step .... I'll bet most people like myself have never heard of such a thing here in the USA. I've heard of Doctors without boarders but that's in other countries ... not here in the US. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and your generosity. Great video.

[@Mvn4Wrd]

Thanks Bob! You come up with the most useful videos. ⭐️ 🌟 💫

[@tmad5358]

Those of us who can, great way to pay it forward!

[@duane4972]

Thank you Suanne, for all you do to make others lives better !!! And thanks for sharing this with us, I'm sure it will help many of us nomads.

[@terripapatheodore9033]

Well Bob, once again you have swooped in from afar to rescue me! I'm becoming a boondocker in a short 2-1/2 months. The reason is because I'm on SS and can't afford to live and fix my failing teeth. I got the idea from my grandson in March and found you right away. By watching your videos I gained the confidence that I CAN do this. But my teeth are failing faster than I will be able to save the money to fix them in Algodones and here you are again with another great video. Thanks to you and Suanne I know I can get help with emergencies until I can address my whole mouth. I can't express my gratitude enough to both of you. Keep on keepin on!

[@canoefor-one1102]

What positive experiences Sue Ann had. RAM is a wonderful medical program! My aunt and uncle were volunteers when RAM came to the racetrack in Newton, Iowa. Terrific video.

[@sesbee3620]

This is a good interview. I got free dental years ago at a free clinic in our state. I now have full dental coverage and love it.

[@badams63adams48]

Thank both you , I'm in need of dental and vision, I can barely see to drive anymore, and I have been using reading glasses for last 5 yrs. This is absolutely fabulous info.

[@waltdurling9487]

Gotta admire this gal! She's freely giving back for receiving a vital service>. Kudos to Carolyn!

[@antoinettejohnson6251]

Walt Durling - Oops! Her name is Sue Anne. Carolyn is a different friend of Bob's but she's in Alaska.

[@autumnskyes5633]

What a great program. I'm on social security disability and I also draw a pension. I do have medicare but I don't have dental or eye care as I make too much for help. I use a community clinic for all my health care and I do qualify for a sliding fee. I plan on doing my yearlies through the Clinic when I start summering up here in Wisconsin and Minnesota. During winter months (when I start my nomad life) it's good knowing something like this exists in case I need it.

[@tammierenee8835]

So great to see Sueann again. This is great info, a wonderful organization. I’m going to learn more about them. Good work Bob. Good work Sueann.

[@r.d.ontheroad-1094]

Awesome video! Thanks so much for the info! It's remarkable how rewarding it is to give more than receive! It builds a character that you are so proud of to volunteer and it's sad that the bad guys get so much air time! There are so many good people in this world that people don't notice, because it doesn't pay their bills! It takes a lot of special people to step out and be part of an organization like this! Keep it up! May our Lord be with you always!

[@RLeeVanCamps]

Qudos to RAM. Health care at its best. Not all about the money

[@theoldfarmerswife5915]

Good information. I will also share that there are many of these types of clinics across the country. Some of the clinics I'm aware of, are mobile, many are in permanent locations They can be difficult to find & yes, lines are extremely long & wait time can be very long. I am aware of some of the clinics in Kansas. Your local Health Department or SRS office will be able to direct you I'm so impressed with all of your volunteering! Hopefully others who see this will either benefit from the services or help in any way they can 💕. I'm going there now, to register as a RN. Thanks! 👍
