Carson City and Lyon County area medical field volunteers needed for two October events
Remote Area Medical and community partners are providing free medical services in October to Northern Nevadans regardless of age or insurance status. Events will be held in Carson City and Yerington in October and services include dental, vision and medical. Medical volunteers are needed with opportunities available for both medical and non-medical volunteers.
"We are in desperate need of more volunteer Family Practice MDs, dentists, dental hygienists, and dental assistants and optometrists. We provide professional liability coverage," said Kathy Bartosz, executive director of Partnership Carson City which is co-organizing the event through Remote Area Medical. "It's an experience you will remember for a lifetime."
RAM anticipates more than 1,000 clients coming through during each of the three day events seeking medical, dental and vision services.
A mobile Vision Lab will be available on site to make up to 400 pairs of glasses, and up to 40 portable dental chairs will be assembled for service. This will be a weekend you will remember. Please call Bartosz at (775) 841-4730 for Carson City, and Freida Carbery, (775) 350-4597 for Yerington for more information on the RAM events.
