SAHI Hosts the Yearly Rural Area Medical (RAM) Free Healthcare Clinic
Our organization fundraises, organizes and acts as the community host group for the RAM volunteer corps who roll into our community to offer general medical, dental, womens’ care, vision care and more for free to our neighbors.
April 11-12, 2026
Schuylerville Central School
The patient parking lot will open no later than 11:59 p.m. (midnight local time) on Friday night, April 10th, and will remain open throughout the clinic weekend.
When you arrive, Southern ADK Health Initiative volunteers and RAM staff and volunteers will provide you with information about next steps and clinic procedures. Clinic doors typically open at 6 a.m.
If arriving early, please come prepared with your own food, water, medications, and weather-appropriate clothing. Bathrooms will be available at the parking site.
RAM offers free dental, vision, and medical services on a first-come, first-served basis.
Due to time constraints, you may be asked to choose between dental and vision services.
General medical services are available to all patients who attend.
All services are free and open to the public. No ID or insurance required.
– ARRIVE EARLY
In some situations — such as bad weather, volunteer cancellations, or other unexpected circumstances — the parking lot may open earlier than posted, and the number of patients served may be limited. If you are seeking dental services, we strongly encourage you to arrive as early as possible.
Clinic details may change. Please check our Clinic FAQ Page and our event page regularly for the latest updates.
