Our Medical Outreach
Tzu Chi USA’s medical mission is one of the primary ways in which we serve our community members all over the United States. We provide patient-centered medical care with compassion to underprivileged individuals regardless of religion, age, gender, ethnicity and ability to pay.
In the Northeast Region, we focus primarily on community outreach using our Vision and Dental Mobile Clinics. Since 2019, our two Vision Mobile Clinics have helped people see better and improved students’ performance at school with zero-cost vision care, equipping patients with same-day prescription eyewear. Meanwhile, our Dental Mobile Clinic has served the community since 2023, providing accessible, quality dental services to the uninsured and underserved. Through partnerships with other nonprofits, government agencies, and schools, we have expanded our reach to serve more people in need.
