Free healthcare clinic coming to Paris
PARIS — In many parts of the United States, for millions of Americans, access to basic healthcare is a challenge at best and an impossibility at worst. Due to geographic, economic, or cultural barriers, much of the U.S. population is uninsured or underinsured. Remote Area Medical (RAM) is stepping in to address this issue by offering a free, comprehensive healthcare clinic at Paris High School located at 14040 East 1200th Road, Paris, on June 28-29. This clinic will provide dental, vision, and medical care to those who might otherwise go without these essential services. The clinic is in collaboration with Longview Capital Corporation and the Longview Foundation. RAM Clinics are a lifeline for underserved communities, offering free healthcare services that include general medical exams, dental cleanings, extractions, eye exams, and prescription glasses made on-site. By bringing healthcare directly to those in need, RAM removes the barriers of cost and distance that often prevent people from seeking care. The upcoming clinic in Paris is open to anyone in need, with no insurance and no ID required. RAM encourages anyone who could benefit from these services to attend and receive the care they deserve. The parking lot will open no later than 11:59 p.m. (Midnight) Friday night, June 27. and remain open for the duration of the clinic. Once in the parking lot, additional information regarding clinic-opening processes and next steps will be provided. Clinic doors open at 6 a.m., services are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Saturday's clinic operations will be an abbreviated day, patients are advised to arrive as early as possible. Due to time constraints, patients should be prepared to choose between dental and vision services. In some situations outside of RAM's control, such as inclement weather, volunteer cancellations or other circumstances, the parking lot may open earlier or a smaller number of patients may be served. RAM encourages everyone who would like services, especially dental services, to arrive as early as possible. Clinic closing time may vary based on each service area's daily capacity. For more information on the upcoming RAM Clinic, including how to volunteer or donate, visit or call 865-579-1530.

This Paris High School senior shines on both sides of the lens
PARIS, Ky. (FOX 56) — Photography is an art form, and it's one that Paris High School senior Tori Dumphord has already fallen in love with. 'I had no idea what I wanted to do when I was older, and then I signed up for the media class just because my friend saw that we could do podcasting and we thought it would be fun,' Dumphord said. 'Best decision I ever made.' She takes pictures at Greyhounds games, and it's made her pretty popular in school. 'My favorite is when kids make my picture their profile picture on Instagram; I just say 'You're welcome',' Dumphord said. Tori is pretty comfortable behind the camera, but part of what makes her so good at sports photography is she knows what's going on out there on the court. That's because she trades out the camera for a basketball and plays on the Lady Greyhounds varsity team. Central Kentucky high school basketball highlights, scores: Jan. 24 'Yes, she means a lot to me; she's just a role model child, and she's a great leader for us,' Paris girls basketball head coach Aaron Speaks said. 'I realize how much I'm gonna miss something once it's done, and I'm really glad this is my last season going out great with basically my sisters. I'd say I live in the moment a lot more,' Dumphord said. Living in the moment on the court, like she captures moments off the court. 'When the football season was going on, we even scaled our practices back so she wouldn't miss any football games so that she could go do coverage of the football team as they were playing on Friday nights,' Speaks said. 'I think I'd rather be behind the camera; sometimes being in front of the camera could be fun, but I like taking the pictures and videos and stuff,' Dumphord said. Woodford County, Frederick Douglass and West Jessamine compete for Play of the Week: Jan. 24 Other people get to take pictures of Tori when she's playing basketball, but for any other sport, she gets to shine on the other side of the lens. 'I get to get into games for free,' Dumphord said with a smile. 'But I also love that I get to capture the moments that I would want someone to capture for me.' The Lady Greyhounds opened the season on a 14-game winning streak, proving to be an exciting team to watch in the 10th Region. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
