This looks like an interesting program for all my many[1. I have a surprisingly large number of friends practicing or studying TCM, at least 7 off the top of my head.

In the late 1800s, thousands of Chinese miners came to Eastern Oregon in search of gold. Among them were two men – Ing “Doc” Hay and Lung On – who opened a store and herbal apothecary called Kam Wah Chung. Though originally catering to their fellow Chinese, over time these two men attended to the medical needs of many, becoming highly regarded members of the community.
