TEL Donates Truck to Transport Remote Area Medical Mobile Clinic

We are so proud to have donated a 2022 Freightliner Cascadia commercial truck to Remote Area Medical (RAM) to power the nonprofit's free pop-up clinics. The truck, valued at $85,000, will transport RAM's mobile clinic to locations throughout the region where the charity provides medical, dental, and vision care to the uninsured and underserved.

This is where RAM fills the void," explained Victor Duggard, CFO of TEL. "Partnering with a great organization like this is a great way for us to give back to our community."

 

“RAM is grateful for this generous donation from Transport Enterprise Leasing,” Chris Hall, chief operations officer, said. “This commercial truck will allow us to continue to provide free, quality healthcare to those in need across the United States. As we expand our services and number of clinics, our fleet of tractor-trailers becomes an ever-growing, important aspect of delivering the care that countless individuals are seeking. Barriers exist for our patients in many different ways. With this truck, we are able to continue to remove those barriers that stand in the way of access to healthcare.”

Founded in 1985, RAM has recruited more than 196,000 volunteer providers and support staff over the years to treat nearly 1 million individuals, delivering free healthcare services valued at more than $195 million, the charity estimated. Some clinics provide care through on-site providers, while others deliver care via telehealth services in Tennessee. 

Dozens of clinics are scheduled for the coming months in Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, and in states as far away as Alaska. Pop-up clinics slated for January and February include visits Jan. 12-14 in Knoxville, TN, and Feb. 17-18 in Henderson, NC.
