Remote Area Medical returning to Pahrump in October

Remote Area Medical’s (RAM) visit to Pahrump is right around the corner. The nonprofit provider will be in Nye County’s largest community on Saturday, Oct. 3 and Sunday, Oct. 4.

“RAM has been around for 41 years. We have served over a million patients in that time frame. This is our 11th year of going to Pahrump, which is super exciting,” RAM Volunteer Coordinator Elise Carter told the Pahrump Valley Times.

The upcoming RAM clinic in Pahrump, hosted by the NyE Communities Coalition, will offer free medical care to the community.

“No ID required. No insurance required. No income requirements,” the RAM Pahrump clinic website page states.

A wide variety of services will be available including dental, vision and other medical offerings such as health exams and screenings.

“It’s a wide variety of what we can take care of within medical,” Carter explained.

RAM’s free services are provided on a first-come, first-served basis. The RAM clinic will be located at Pahrump Valley High School campus’ Pathways Building, 501 E. Calvada Blvd.

“I do encourage people to get there as early as possible,” Carter said.

The clinic’s parking lot will open no later than 11:59 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 2 and will stay open all night. Doors for patients open at 6 a.m.

Last year’s clinic in Pahrump served more than 450 patients, passing $300,000 in total value of care, according to a 2025 RAM press release.
