TIMA USA

Tzu Chi’s nationwide medical events, including those offered by the Tzu Chi Mobile Clinic fleet, have provided exactly 1,674,968 free healthcare services to patients from 1993 to 2022. While free medical events were put on pause in 2020 due to the pandemic, service gradually resumed the following year.

Since the establishment of the Tzu Chi International Medical Association in the United States (or TIMA USA) on April 4, 1998, all healthcare-related activities in Southern California, including across the Inland Empire, in Midwest Los Angeles, in San Diego, and across Orange County, were established with the development of free medical outreach events and the adjustment of the overall organizational structure of Tzu Chi’s operations.
