Dr. Tsai is an avid athlete, and has completed more than 70 marathons and 10 Ironman triathlons. She also dedicates her time and skills to assisting on medical missions all around the globe, specifically in places where they are in desperate need of medical care and assistance. She has been part of many medical missions, a few are highlighted below.

Most recently in March 2020, upon the arrival of the COVID-19 shelter-in-place orders, Dr. Tsai was off to New York City with donated medical supplies in hand to volunteer at Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx during the worst of the Coronavirus outbreak. Working 12 to 24 hour shifts for 6 weeks side by side with other health care heroes, they responded to the pandemic crisis as essential front line medical workers. 

In 2018, Dr. Tsai went to Vietnam to volunteer her time and skills with Good Samaritan Medical Dental Ministry. She had the opportunity to save lives and improve the quality of people’s lives, thus renewing her love of medicine. Another organization that Dr. Tsai volunteers with, Flying Doctors of America, organizes medical missions throughout the world. In July of 2015, Dr. Tsai once again traveled to Africa, to volunteer with White Coat Brigade, a medical brigade that teams up with Out of the Ashes, a group who volunteer to help a community living in the village of Korah, located in Ethiopia. Her first visit there was in January 2015. She was so affected by this community, she returned again in 2016.  In January 2010, Dr. Tsai first traveled to Africa to volunteer with FAME Africa. FAME is an organization which helps bring first world medicine to underprivileged areas in East Africa. The organization was founded in 2002 and has since expanded enough to open an outpatient clinic in Tanzania. Please click on these links for more information on how to donate or volunteer
