COMMENTS: That Remote Area Called Downtown Los Angeles
Last August, then-anchor Charles Gibson made Stan Brock ABC's Person of the Week. Brock's charity, Remote Area Medical, was founded to bring modern medicine to Third World populations yet now it was turning its attention to the United States because of its huge population of uninsured patients. Back then, Brock organized a weeklong free clinic in the Los Angeles Forum sports arena. Besides Gibson, Miguel Almaguer covered the walk-in clinic twice for NBC (here and here) and Bill Whitaker filed for CBS. Now RAM has returned with 300 volunteers offering dental care, physical check-ups and eye exams. It expects almost 8,500 patients and CBS' Whitaker returned for a follow-up.
