FORT WORTH, Texas, Sept. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --  eTrueNorth, the U.S.-based healthcare technology company that enables laboratory testing at retail pharmacies and enables more than 50% of all drive-through COVID-19 specimen collection sites, is collaborating with Remote Area Medical – RAM® – to promote free dental, medical and vision clinics as well as to encourage COVID-19 survivors to donate plasma that may help others diagnosed with the virus.

RAM® is bringing a free clinic to Pathways Innovative Schools, 2000 S. Mount Charleston West, Pahrump, NV 89048 on October 3 and 4, 2020. In addition to offering free healthcare services at this event, RAM will be collaborating with eTrueNorth to accept plasma donations from survivors.
