The event offered medical professionals from around the country treating Alaskans without even asking for an ID.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Hundreds of Alaskans who are in desperate need of basic health care were treated over the weekend at a Remote Area Medical clinic at the O’Malley Sports Complex.
“This has been absolutely overwhelming,” said Dr. Patrick Campaign, a Doctor of Optometry in Anchorage and a local community coordinator lead with the RAM event.“Being able to see after four, five, six years of not being able to see at all, it really is heartbreaking, but still also, so overwhelming, being able to see the happiness that just, little bits of care and appreciation can offer,” he said.
“It doesn’t make a difference where we are,” RAM CEO Jeff Eastman said. “We can go to the richest county, one of the richest in the U.S., Orange County, California, and we still have people line up.”
