Stan Brock started an airborne medical charity, parachuting doctors into South American jungles. In the 1990s, the charity, called Remote Area Medical, turned to another isolated group: Americans cut off from health care by the cost. When 60 Minutes met him in 2008, he was 72. He took no salary, lived in a donated office, and showered with a garden hose. He died in the office in 2018. “He was perhaps the most dedicated person I've ever met,” says Scott Pelley. Current RAM CEO Chris Hall says he used to joke about working with Brock, saying: “It was really hard to ask for a day off when your boss hadn't had a day off in 20 years.” #nonprofit #dentalcare #healthcare #uninsured #medicalcare
