Fort Smith, Ark. – Fort Smith residents can receive free dental care, eye exams and medical checkups this weekend as Remote Area Medical brings a two-day clinic to the city.
The free clinic will operate Oct. 24-25 at Kay Rodgers Park, located at 4400 Midland Blvd. in Fort Smith, according to the City of Fort Smith.
