no id, no insurance, free
Free dental, vision and medical care in Fairbanks this Saturday and Sunday, with no insurance and no ID required.
Daily Alaska staff · September 12, 2026 · Fairbanks
Remote Area Medical, a Tennessee-based nonprofit, is setting up a free pop-up clinic at the Carlson Center in Fairbanks this Saturday and Sunday, offering medical, dental and vision care at no cost. The clinic runs first come, first served, and requires no insurance, no identification and no advance registration.
Patients can receive physical exams and prescription consultations, along with dental cleanings, fillings, extractions and dental X-rays. Vision care includes complete eye exams, eye health evaluations and prescription glasses, some of them made on-site.
Capacity is limited. Because of time constraints, some patients may be asked to choose between dental and vision services, so arriving early increases the chance of completing both.
Doors open at 6 a.m. both days. The parking lot opens at 11:59 p.m. Friday night for people who want to be first in line. Sunday's hours run shorter than Saturday's, so people planning to attend Sunday are encouraged to arrive early.
RAM asks attendees to bring their medications, water, snacks and clothing appropriate for the weather. The clinic is located at the Carlson Center, 2010 Second Ave., Fairbanks. RAM previously held clinics in Fairbanks and Anchorage in April 2023 and April 2024.
