	Dr. Erlene Chiang, LAc, OMD, board member, began offering free treatments in 2001 at 4 times a year in a Buddhist temple in Ukiah. As the need for medical attention there grew, she started recruiting colleagues of Chinese medicine and western medicine to volunteer in serving the residents of Ukiah.  Since 2010, the Foundation offers 10 free clinic annually, 6 times in Ukiah and 4 times in El Cerrito. line Erlene has worked 28 years as a licensed acupuncturist in El Cerrito in her private practice.  She saw the possibility of changing one’s diet and lifestyle patterns to improve one’s health.
