PARIS, Ill. (WCIA) — A clinic offering free dental, vision and medical services will be making an appearance in Edgar County this weekend.

Remote Area Medical (RAM) is a nonprofit organization which works to provide free, quality care to those in need. Organizers said they hope their pop-up clinics help to address the limited access that many Americans have to basic healthcare.

At Paris High School, located at 14040 E. 1200th Road, the free clinic will provide dental, vision and medical care on June 28-29. The clinic is specifically for those who might otherwise go without these services, organizers said. Clinic attendees can expect:

• Dental cleanings
• Dental fillings
• Dental extractions
• Dental X-rays
• Eye exams
• Eyeglass prescriptions
• Glasses made on-site
• Women’s health exams
• General medical exams

“By bringing healthcare directly to those in need, RAM removes the barriers of cost and distance that often prevent people from seeking care,” RAM said in a news release.

Clinic attendees can receive free care in Paris, even without an ID, according to RAM officials. The clinic doors will open up at 6 a.m. on June 28, and services will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis. The clinic will close when capacity is reached. Sunday will be an abbreviated day, according to RAM, so patients are asked to arrive as early as they can.

Patients may have to choose between dental and vision services due to time constraints, but all patients will be offered general medical care.

In case of inclement weather, volunteer cancellations, or other circumstances, the parking lot could open earlier or a smaller number of participants could be served. The clinic closing time will vary based on each day’s capacity.

This clinic was created in partnership with Longview Capital Corporation and the Longview Foundation.
