This weekend, our community showed up in a big way for RAM - Paris, Illinois 2026.
• 200+ volunteers served each day
• 210 patients received care
• $177,387 in medical, dental, and vision services provided
We will share final totals and travel data within the next two weeks.
The impact goes beyond the numbers.
• One patient traveled from Columbia, MO and waited in our parking lot from Wednesday through Saturday, even staying through the storm Thursday night
• Another drove overnight from Iowa City and received care on Sunday
• Patients came from Missouri, Iowa, New Mexico, Georgia, and across central Illinois & Indiana
On Sunday, a dental patient walked out smiling, gauze in his mouth, and said, “I just saved $1,400.”
These stories show why this clinic matters.
Thank you to every volunteer who gave your time and energy to serve others this weekend. Your work made a direct impact on every patient who walked through the doors. Thank you as well to our sponsors and partners who supported this effort.
If you or someone you know still needs care, the closest upcoming clinics to Central Illinois are:
• Cincinnati, OH - July 11–12 - St. Xavier High School
• Terre Haute, IN - July 25–26 - Terre Haute South High School

Care when you need it. That is the mission.
