The Amerigroup Foundation will provide more than $150,000 in support of the delivery of health care services to uninsured Virginians through the Remote Area Medical Volunteer Corps (RAM), according to a press release. Most of the funds will help finance health care in southwest Virginia and for the 2011 Remote Area Medical Health Expedition in Wise County. Organizations receiving funds include The Health Wagon, the Virginia Dental Association Foundation and The University of Virginia Office of Telemedicine. RAM, a nonprofit, volunteer medical relief corps, serves remote and impoverished areas of the United States and abroad. In Virginia, the Virginia Dental Association Foundation (VDAF), a local free clinic, The Health Wagon, and The University of Virginia annually team up with RAM to spearhead a three-day event, providing eye, dental and medical care to the uninsured and underinsured in the region.
