On August 28, 2021, Tzu Chi volunteers host a celebration commemorating the 20th anniversary of Tzu Chi USA’s mobile medical missions in Fresno and the Central Valley in California.

Since 2001, Tzu Chi USA’s Fresno Mobile Clinic has traveled throughout rural areas in Fresno, California, committed to helping low-income residents meet their medical needs. The team has also inspired local community groups, medical professionals, and community residents to participate in volunteer work through these regular community clinics. The Fresno Mobile Clinic has now been stationed in Central California for 20 years, and volunteers continue to pursue progress, always reminding themselves that there is still room for further improvement.

Dr. Denq has been an incredible Tzu Chi volunteer for many years. After over two decades of kind, compassionate service, he has taken the reins at Tzu Chi Medical Foundation (TCMF), stepping up as Chief Executive Officer after the retirement of the dedicated Dr. William Keh. With his extensive experience both as a practicing physician and head of one of Tzu Chi’s Medical clinics, Dr. Denq is sure to guide Tzu Chi’s medical mission to new heights.
