Patients First: Dr. Stephen Denq’s Story

2025-08-10 | 3:40m

Join Dr. Stephen Denq, CEO of Tzu Chi Medical Foundation, for a behind-the-scenes look at a day inside Tzu Chi’s Health Center. From treating underinsured and underserved patients at our free clinic to reflecting on the joy and meaning of service, discover how Dr. Denq combines medicine with compassion. For him, caring for the community isn’t just a profession. It’s a calling and a way of practicing Buddhism in daily life.

Experience the heart of Tzu Chi’s mission: medicine as service, compassion as practice.
