We’re fortunate to partner with incredible community organizations to bring a Remote Area Medical (RAM) free health clinic to Enid at the Stride Bank Center on July 12–13.
This clinic will offer comprehensive services at no cost, including:
People often ask me why hosting this clinic matters—and why an economic development organization like ours would be involved. To me, the answer is simple: Community health is economic health.
When individuals are healthy, they’re more productive at work. Children miss fewer school days. Families avoid the weight of medical debt. A healthier community leads to greater economic stability, a stronger workforce, and a better quality of life for everyone.
For those who are uninsured or underinsured, even a routine doctor’s visit can feel financially out of reach. This clinic helps fill that gap—offering not just short-term care, but also connections to ongoing local healthcare resources. It does not replace existing services; rather, it enhances access and helps ensure more people are supported and seen.
If you’d like to volunteer, please sign up at volunteer.ramusa.org. If you have questions, please feel free to contact me directly.
To all the volunteers and partner organizations who have helped make this clinic possible—thank you. We could not do this without you.
Someone recently asked me how we’ll know if this effort is worth the time and energy. My answer is this: If we help even one person receive the medical, dental, or vision care they need, it’s a success.
As for my time—it’s always worth it when spent giving back to a community that has given so much to me and my family.
One of my favorite quotes captures it best:
“If not us, then who? If not now, then when?” — John F. Kennedy
Let’s be the “who.” Let’s make “now” count.
