Free Healthcare Clinic Coming to Milton

By Annette Zeeb

Remote Area Medical and volunteers from around the Gulf Coast will be providing FREE medical services to members of the community on December 3 and December 4 at Milton High School, located at 5445 Stewart St. in Milton. Tickets/numbers will be provided only to those who are physically present at the time of number distribution at 3 a.m. each day, with services at 6 a.m. Adults and children are welcome. There are no eligibility or insurance requirements. Patients will be seen on a first-come, first-served basis. Individuals should bring a detailed list of current medications, both prescription and over-the-counter, and previously diagnosed conditions. Free dental services include cleanings, fillings, extractions, denture repairs, and denture realignments. Free vision services include eye exams, Glaucoma testing, Diabetes Retinopathy Screening, and glasses made on sight. Free medical care includes specialist exams, EKG, Hepatitis C testing, Bone Density Scan, Diabetes testing, breast exams, Syphilis & HIV testing, Walgreens Flu Shots, Women’s Health, general medicine, and physicals. Educational resources and providers will also be onsite to provide information. There will be an opportunity to donate blood. Since the wait can be long, it is a good idea to bring food, water, entertainment like books or games, and folding chairs if standing for long periods of time is not an option. It is also recommended to be prepared for the weather. For additional information, email GulfCoastRAMclinic@gmail.com.
