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.
In 2010, the Tzu Chi Medical Foundation (TCMF) in the United States established a Tzu Chi Community Clinic in Wilmington, CA, adjacent to the Port of Los Angeles. With compassionate outpatient services, medical outreach activities, and food distribution events, the clinic has become like another home for many locals. And ten years after its founding, this home energized by love and care still endures.
Coming from humble beginnings in Taiwan, Carole Liu overcomes poverty, life as an immigrant, and the death of her husband in her pursuit of the bodhisattva path as a Tzu Chi volunteer.
As a response to the spike in new, confirmed cases of COVID-19 witnessed across the nation as states begin the gradual process of reopening, Tzu Chi Medical Foundation (TCMF) called its supporters and volunteers to action, urging the donation of personal protective equipment, and delivering plant-based meals, sticky rice dumplings, and fruit, to dedicated frontline health workers.
As the pandemic has progressed, the Tzu Chi Medical Foundation has procured and donated personal protective equipment (PPE) and sanitizing supplies to more than a thousand medical institutions across the United States. In meeting with many of their representatives, staff and volunteers at Tzu Chi Medical discovered how constricted time was for lunch breaks at healthcare facilities. As a result, a new initiative was born: “A Better Meal, A Better Earth,” where, beginning May 19, 2020, Tzu Chi Medical began donating vegetarian lunches to healthcare workers alongside PPE donations.
The Alzheimer’s Association and the Buddhist Tzu Chi Medical Foundation are pleased to announce the expansion of their partnership to better reach and engage the Chinese-American community by providing important information relating to Alzheimer’s detection, diagnosis, care, treatment, research, and advocacy.
The drive from San Jose in California’s Silicon Valley to Rancho Cielo Youth Campus, located in Salinas, Monterey County, is scenic. There is much to enjoy, first along Santa Cruz Hwy 17, with tall trees lining both sides of the state highway, then the gorgeous views of the Pacific Ocean along Cabrillo Hwy 1, which hugs the coastline.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, Tzu Chi USA Medical Foundation, under the leadership of CEO Dr. William Keh, is diligently supporting the urgent needs of healthcare workers across the United States.
The role of the healthcare sector includes the treatment and prevention of diseases in addition to maintaining one’s health.
