Hundreds of doctors, nurses, dentists, X-ray technicians and other medical personnel are planning a massive free health clinic for Ohio's largest county in May.
The event will transform the Cuyahoga County Fairgrounds into a giant medical clinic on May 2 and 3. For two straight days, starting at 6 a.m., they will provide health care to as many people as they possibly can -- for free.
This event in Cleveland is open to all on a first-come, first-served basis regardless of income or citizenship.
Medical staff will offer tests for heart disease and diabetes, check vision and make eye glasses, provide dental exams and pull teeth, and make X-rays and ultrasounds available.
Organizer Zac Ponsky, whose father and two brothers are doctors, says no one will be turned away.
Ponsky says he modeled the event on the Remote Area Medical organization that has conducted similar clinics around the world and in the United States, including Tennessee and Kentucky.
