POTSDAM — Remote Area Medical (RAM), a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing free, quality health care to those in need, is seeking medical professionals and community volunteers for a two-day clinic scheduled for June 12-13, 2027, at Clarkson University's Cheel Arena.

The free clinic will be held at 8 Clarkson Ave. in Potsdam and will offer dental, vision and general medical care to individuals in need.

Organizers are calling on health care professionals and community members throughout the North Country to volunteer their time and skills to help make the event a success.

Volunteers are needed in several areas, including:

• Dental care: Dentists, oral surgeons, dental assistants and dental hygienists.
• Medical care: Physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners and nurses.
• Vision care: Optometrists, ophthalmologists, opticians and vision technicians.
• General support: Interpreters, patient guides, data entry personnel and volunteers to assist with a variety of other tasks.

Community members without medical training are encouraged to participate, as numerous nonclinical volunteer opportunities are available.

The clinic represents an opportunity for local health care providers, students and residents to come together to support their neighbors and help address barriers to accessing essential health care services.

Remote Area Medical organizes free health care clinics to bring medical, dental and vision services to people who might otherwise struggle to obtain care.

With the Potsdam clinic scheduled for June 2027, organizers are encouraging prospective volunteers to sign up in advance and help bring these important services to the North Country.
