Patients line up outside the Remote Area Medical Clinic at the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth on Saturday. The clinic was available to anyone who wished to use its services.Gaby Gonzalez was hoping to get a dentist to alleviate the pain in her mouth when she showed up at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, where hundreds of volunteers were offering free medical, vision and dental care.But Gonzalez got a little more than she expected.
The simplicity of RAM’s approach was a “godsend” to Chris Evans. Evans and his mom got in line for the RAM clinic at about 8 p.m. Friday. Evans had driven from his home in Royse City, to his job in McKinney, to his mom’s house in Denison, back to Fort Worth. After hearing about the clinic on Facebook, Evans talked his mom into coming to get her teeth looked at for the first time in years.
“I have new glasses and a new smile,” she said. Her eyes shone with tears behind the clear glass of her new lens. “I’m just so grateful.” But the surgery had to wait: Gonzalez’s blood pressure and blood sugar were both too high for the surgery to be safe.
