We deeply mourn the passing of John E. Scanlon, M.D., beloved friend and long-time RAM volunteer. Dr. Scanlon was wholly committed to the work of Remote Area Medical®, and for over a decade served at RAM clinics in Guyana, South America; Tanzania; Banda Aceh, Indonesia; and clinics in the southern and western regions of the United States. Dr. Scanlon’s zest for life was evident to all who knew him - he not only volunteered as an Ophthalmologist at RAM clinics, he was the oldest member of the RAM Airborne Team, parachuting at the age of 78 for the RAM Lamb’s Mountain Expedition in East Tennessee. He will be greatly missed by all; our thoughts are with his wife Sally, and their family and friends.

Two years ago, eight girls in New York formed their own charity which they named One Is Greater Than None and have selected Remote Area Medical’s Rural AMerica program to be the U. S. component of their philanthropic efforts. Check out their website, oneisgreaterthannone.org, to learn about these 16-year-olds who are saving children halfway around the world and encouraging other young people to get involved locally and globally.
