Donors Needed

Remote Area Medical depends heavily on people like you. Please make your generous contribution now so that our all-volunteer organization can continue to provide free health care services (dental, vision, medical, and veterinary) to those who are under-employed or under-insured. Over 90% of unrestricted donations go directly to service programs. Over 60% of our programs are based in poverty areas of the United States.

Remote Area Medical, Inc., and Remote Area Medical Foundation are 501(c)(3) publicly supported charities.

We have posted a printable brochure summarizing the Women's Health needs in Guyana and RAM's response. You can download it here.

Please contact Guyana Cervical Cancer Program Director, Rebecca Kightlinger, DO (rkightlinger@virginia.edu)

Future home of the RAM Center in Guyana, South America

RAM volunteer Mark Ely traveled to Guyana for a month on assignment to repair and re-open the old Manari airstrip at the site of the planned RAM CENTER near the Brazil border. Along with great help from RAM volunteers Jeff and Marta Ware and RAM air ambulance pilot Terrence Trapnell, Mark accomplished the work in record time and under budget. Terrence Trapnell made the inaugural landing on the new strip on Saturday September 22nd 2007. Work on construction of the RAM CENTER which will deal with cervical cancer and advanced medical and veterinary problems in the region will begin as funds permit. This project is made possible by Mrs Margaret Orella Harris and Mr Louis Orella who own the property and are assigning it for use as the RAM CENTER to Remote Area Medical.
