From Homeless to Health Care Provider

VIDEO: Homeless Man-Turned Health Care Provider


Stan Brock has provided free health care for 25 years. Through his Remote Area Medical Foundation, Brock has staged 346 clinics in 12 states, mostly in rural counties. His most recent clinic though is not in a typical location for RAMF - Brock has set up shop in Los Angeles for 8 days. He's treating thousands of LA workers who are either underinsured or uninsured and can't afford basic medical treatment. His foundation hopes to treat 8,000 patients while in LA - that's the equivalent of $200,000 in medical care. All of his clinics are run by volunteers - from the receptionists to the nurses & doctors. Brock is all too familiar with the the lack of funds for health care - at one point in his life he was homeless & unable to take care of his medical needs. Next up for the Remote Area Medical team - Roane County, Tennessee. They're heading there in September.
