💙 Clear Sight & Bright Smiles On The Move 💙

At Tzu Chi Medical Foundation, our mobile clinics provide complete optometric care, from eye exams and prescriptions to same-day glasses, all delivered with dignity and compassion.

We focus especially on vision and dental care, two of the most critical needs for children and older adults in our communities. For many low-income families, these services make a life-changing difference.

What makes our Mobile Clinic truly unique is our patient-centered approach. We care for each person as an individual, with respect, love, and understanding. For some, this care has been a trusted support for over a decade, and we’re grateful to bring quality healthcare wherever it’s needed most.

💙 Weekly Health Tip: What to Know About Diabetes Medications 💙

Diabetes medications don’t work the same for everyone. Side effects and monitoring vary by medication type. and while concerns are understandable, the benefits of good glucose control usually outweigh the risks, helping protect your eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart, and blood vessels.

🌿 A few important reminders:
🩺 Always review side effects, lab results, and symptoms with your clinician, never stop or change medications on your own.
🌱 Herbal remedies or supplements cannot replace prescribed diabetes medications and may interact with them.
⚠️ Be cautious of products claiming to “cure” diabetes, many are unproven and unsafe.
📊 Know your glucose targets, monitoring plan, and safe medication habits to prevent complications.

At Tzu Chi Medical Foundation, we believe informed choices and trusted medical guidance are key to protecting your long-term health. When in doubt, talk with your care team. You’re not alone on this journey. 🌿

🌿 This week’s Weekly Health Tip focuses on a the changes that occur upon aging into one’s 40s. The hopeful message we share is this: up to 70% of the aging process is influenced by lifestyle, not genetics. Small, compassionate changes can have a profound impact.

Our health tip highlights four foundations for healthy aging:
🔹 Move daily - blend strength training, cardio, and activities you love.
🔹 Nourish well - prioritize colorful plant foods, balanced protein, and probiotics.
🔹 Protect sleep - keep consistent routines and create a calming environment.
🔹 Reduce stress - through meditation, nature time, mindful breathing, and community support.

🌱 In Tzu Chi’s spirit of compassion, we encourage everyone in their 40s and beyond to cultivate mindful habits that support body, mind, and heart.

🌿Healthy aging is a lifelong blessing. Let’s care for it together. ❤️

Weekly Health Tip: When Is High Blood Pressure an Emergency? 🚨

A reading over 180/120 is serious — but the symptoms matter most.

Hypertensive Urgency:
Very high BP with no organ damage. You don’t need the ER, but follow up with your doctor soon.

Hypertensive Emergency:
High BP with danger signs like chest pain, stroke symptoms, trouble breathing, sudden swelling, or severe headache.

➡️ If these appear, call 911 immediately — don’t drive yourself.
👉 ER need is based on symptoms, not just the number.

🌿Stay informed and take care of your heart. ❤️
