Remote Area Medical
This organization was profiled on a segment of 60 Minutes last night. Incredible story- it's a group of medical people that go into remote areas on their weekends and provide people who wouldn't otherwise get any medical attention with medical, dental, and vision care - for free. They started out going into the amazon in South America doing this- but now 60% or so of their work is in the U.S.! In other words, they are treating the U.S. as a third-world country based on...
