Mission Statement
"To prevent pain and alleviate suffering by providing free quality healthcare to those in need." Founded by "Wild Kingdom" TV star, Stan Brock, RAM has been serving those who cannot afford healthcare or medical attention since 1985. Stan stated: "My vision for Remote Area Medical® developed when I suffered a personal injury while living among the Wapishana Indians in Guyana, South America. I was isolated from medical care, which was about a 26 day journey away. I witnessed the near devastation of whole tribes by what would have been simple or minor illnesses to more advanced cultures. When I left Guyana, I vowed to find a way to deliver basic medical aid to people in the world’s inaccessible regions. So, in 1985 I established the non-profit, Remote Area Medical® or as most people know us - RAM®. RAM® is the way I have kept that promise, not only to the Wapishana Indians, but to thousands around the world in similar conditions. In other words, there are Wapishanas everywhere." Come join us in the journey to transform communities!
