The Tzu Chi Foundation has expanded its free traditional Chinese medicine clinics to the Sumas First Nation.

About 40 members of the Abbotsford band were treated by six TCM doctors Saturday as part of the band’s community wellness day, said the foundation.

The charity’s involvement was part of its outreach efforts to build relationships with First Nations, said Tom Torng, public relations director for the foundation.
