On assignment for The New York Times, Larry Towell captured powerful images of a Remote Area Medical (RAM) event in Wise County, Virginia. His photographs depict the early morning scene as people camped out in trucks and tents, waiting for free medical care provided by RAM volunteers. Towell’s work highlights the contrast between the patients' urgent need for health services and the limited capacity of the volunteers to meet that need, effectively conveying both the scale of the event and the dedication of those involved.
