Buddhist Tzu Chi Medical Foundation
The Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation was founded in 1966 and began providing medical care to the poor. Since then, it has evolved its care into an international medical mission. We operate six hospitals in Taiwan, manage the world’s fifth largest bone marrow bank, and administer the Tzu Chi International Medical Association (TIMA) with more than 8,600 physicians and health professionals who provide free medical services to more than 2 million people around the world. In 1993, we established the Tzu Chi Medical Foundation in the United States with our first free clinic in California, dedicated to providing patient-centered, high-quality community health services to low-income individuals. We now run three community clinics in Alhambra, South El Monte and Wilmington, California, that provide care at minimal or no cost. We also host an array of free, large-scale medical outreaches across the country, along with mobile dental and vision programs, support groups and preventive health education.

CAPIWAVES: A report based on the California Pacific Islander Well-being and COVID-19 Economic Survey
CAPIWAVES: A report based on the California Pacific Islander Well-being and COVID-19 Economic Survey (2025 release) Working alongside NHPI community leaders and partners, researchers at the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research's NHPI Data Policy Lab, UC Irvine, and UC Riverside developed the California Pacific Islander Well-being and COVID-19 Economic Survey (CAPIWAVES) to understand the mental health and economic impacts of the pandemic on NHPIs in California. Based on responses from 929 NHPI adults between January 2024 and May 2024, researchers produced a comprehensive report that features data on psychological distress, mental health care needs and unmet needs, barriers to care, sources of stress, and coping strategies, as well as job loss, decreases in household income, difficulty paying for food and housing, difficulty accessing government financial assistance, and more. The report provides disaggregated estimates for seven NHPI groups: CHamoru, Fijian, Marshallese, Native Hawaiian, Sāmoan, Tongan, and other Pacific Islander.
