Offering Medical Outreach and Promoting Disaster Preparedness in Santa Ana, California
Tzu Chi volunteers from Tzu Chi USA National Headquarters Region’s Orange County Service Center in Southern California held their first large-scale free clinic of the year on April 7, 2024, at the Boys & Girls Club in Santa Ana, providing Western medicine, Chinese acupuncture, and dental services to underprivileged families in the area. The team utilized Tzu Chi’s pop-up cubicle partitions to protect patient privacy during acupuncture treatments. The clinic also offered Tzu Chi volunteers the opportunity to educate the community about Listos California’s disaster preparedness and emergency response resources.
