Oklahoma dentists and vision professionals needed

Remote Area Medical Oklahoma needs volunteers, particularly in the dental and vision professions, to help with its second large-scale free health care weekend on August 25 and August 26.

The organization will set up about 50 mobile dental chairs and 16 lanes of vision refraction to provide patients with free dental, vision and limited medical care on a first-come, first-served basis at the Oklahoma Expo Hall of the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds.

Volunteers can sign up at www.ramok.org/volunteer, or by calling 405-410-5411. Remote Area Medical Oklahoma especially needs dentists, hygienists, dental assistants and anyone in the vision care field.

Dental volunteers can earn Continuing Education hours, and all volunteers are covered against medical liability under state law.

Care begins at 6 a.m. both days, but times can be flexible.
