By the Numbers: Hundreds Receive Free Medical, Dental, and Vision Care at Enid RAM Clinic

When it comes to community impact, numbers tell the story best—and the recent Remote Area Medical (RAM) Clinic held in Enid is no exception.

Over the weekend of July 12–13, the Stride Bank Center was transformed into a hub of healing and hope as 372 unique patients received free medical care, with 106 of them also receiving vision or dental services. The total value of care provided during the two-day event? An astounding $218,309—all at no cost to the patients.

These numbers highlight a critical need in northwestern Oklahoma and beyond. Patients traveled from across Northwest and Central Oklahoma, and even as far as Texas, to access the clinic’s wide range of services: dental cleanings, fillings, and extractions; vision exams and eyeglasses; and general medical consultations.

But the impact extended beyond the patients. A total of 301 volunteers—including licensed professionals and support staff—gave their time, energy, and expertise to make this event possible.

The RAM Clinic was made possible by a powerful partnership among the Enid Regional Development Alliance, OSU Center for Health Sciences, and the Delta Dental of Oklahoma Foundation, with vital support from a long list of community partners. Their collective effort ensured that hundreds received care they otherwise might have gone without.

As Marcie Mack, Executive Director of the Enid Regional Development Alliance, put it:

“This clinic was only possible because of the incredible support from our healthcare providers, volunteers, and community partners who share a heart for service. The Enid RAM Clinic stands as a testament to what can happen when a community comes together with compassion, purpose, and the drive to meet real needs—one patient at a time."

The clinic would not have been possible without the dedicated efforts from our Enid partners. We express a grateful thank you to all you do for our community.
