Our Crowdfunding Groups
Thank you for your interest in helping the Emory Remote Area Medical student organization. Even though the crowdfunding campaign has ended, you can still support Emory RAM by making a gift today!
Remote Area Medical (RAM) is a non-profit organization that works with local community leaders to host pop-up free clinics in medically underserved rural areas. In the greater part of Georgia, there are many remote areas, specifically 89 of Georgia’s 159 counties have been designated Primary Care Shortage Areas, where there is a lack of access to healthcare resources. Also, an overwhelming 41 percent of Georgia’s rural hospitals are at high risk of closure. By providing free and publicly accessible medical clinics, RAM improves healthcare options for thousands of individuals. Providing medical, dental, and vision services, which are otherwise unattainable due to poor insurance coverage, RAM contributes dental equipment, vision equipment, mobile units, tools, organization, and logistics to their clinics. RAM Emory members want to raise student awareness of rural health disparities and act to alleviate them.
Your donation will help reduce the financial burden of this project and help us accomplish three goals:
Currently, the RAM Emory executive board is working to finalize a location for the potential clinic and working to fundraise to allow this project to come to fruition. By supporting Emory RAM, you allow our dream of making healthcare more accessible in rural Georgia to be possible.
Thank you so much for your support!
Your gift brings us one step closer to serving another patient. Thank you for your support!
Your donation can help us create clinic service trips for Emory students to serve and witness the need for healthcare improvement rurally!
Your contribution can help support a scholarship fund for student volunteers in need so that they can volunteer through Emory RAM service trips!
In 2018, it cost RAM on average $95 to treat each patient- your generosity could change someone’s life by giving them healthcare otherwise unattainable for them!
Your donation will help us feed the volunteers at our clinic and support the patients who wait overnight to receive care!
Running a clinic demands a lot financially, and your generosity has allayed that cost significantly! We cannot thank you enough for making our efforts and service possible!
