The success of these clinics is dependant on a team of committed and caring volunteers. In 2007 we brought a team of 166 UVA Health System volunteers to the July RAM Wise event. UVa Health System staff interested in volunteering at a RAM event are invited to visit the http://www.web.virginia.edu/ramp website to complete an online application.
