Bringing High-Quality Modular Medical Clinics to Rural Areas
Bringing quality healthcare to rural areas is always a challenge, especially when it comes to developing new facilities where commercial builders and subcontractors are in short supply. For years Ramtech has met just these types of needs by providing temporary and permanent modular buildings to rural and remote locations throughout the Southwest. Recently we went up to the North-central Arkansas area to visit one of our two-physician modular medical clinics we constructed and installed for Dr. Adam Gray.
Located in Izard County in the small community of Melbourne, Ramtech used traditional permanent modular construction to build this 2,600 square foot building featuring six exam rooms, procedure room, lab area, and business office. Once again we took along our video equipment to record the thoughts and comments of Dr. Gray on how he found Ramtech and what it was like to work with us.

The reason: Ramtech had a proprietary permanent modular building system that was superior to any modular system in the southwest, and Ramtech’s in-house design team was most qualified to provide a design assist engineering role. In order to lower cost, St. Joseph chose to utilize a design-build approach. This opened the door to Ramtech’s design team initiating programming sessions, conducting site investigations and developing a synergy with the client that carried forward throughout the project.
