In order to further inherit and promote the traditional Chinese medicine culture, and to promote the distribution of high-quality medical resources to the grassroots level, to effectively meet the residents' needs for winter health care and prevention, on the morning of January 22nd, the Fuzheng Hall of Yantai Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in Laishan District II organized a professional medical team and went to the Party and Mass Service Center of Huanghai Street, Houqianqiu Community in Laishan District. They held an "Traditional Chinese Medicine Warm Winter Health Care" free medical consultation activity, providing professional and considerate medical services to the residents in the area. 
The event site was filled with warmth and the medical services were carried out in an orderly manner. Dr. Liu Xiaqin, the attending physician, relied on her rich clinical experience and professional diagnostic capabilities to examine and diagnose the residents one by one. She carefully observed the tongue coating, asked about their diet and daily routines, and accurately grasped their health conditions. For the common winter diseases such as hypertension, chronic gastritis, insomnia, and joint cold pain, as well as the chronic diseases of the elderly, she provided personalized diagnosis suggestions and medication guidance based on the "winter storage" theory of traditional Chinese medicine. At the same time, she also conducted popular science education on winter health care, covering four aspects: dietary supplementation, regular living, exercise regulation, and emotional regulation. She explained to the residents how to follow the natural laws and do winter maintenance properly - choosing warm and nourishing foods, balancing yin and yang, avoiding cold and greasy foods; getting up early and going to bed late, protecting the head, back, and feet with warmth; choosing gentle and moderate exercise; maintaining a calm and stable state of mind, avoiding excessive emotions that damage kidney qi. The clear and understandable explanations combined with practical health care techniques enabled the residents to have a more comprehensive understanding of traditional Chinese medicine health care.

On the other side, a long queue formed at the blood pressure measurement service desk set up by Sun Mengkun, the chief nurse. She skillfully measured the blood pressure of the residents, carefully recorded the values, and for those with high blood pressure, she inquired about their medication history and living habits, reminding them that in winter, the temperature is low and blood vessels are prone to constrict, so they need to closely monitor blood pressure changes, take medication on time, and have regular check-ups. At the same time, she combined traditional Chinese nursing knowledge to share practical methods for regulating blood pressure in winter with the residents, recommending easy-to-perform acupoint massage techniques such as Fengchi, Neiguan, and Yongquan, helping the residents regulate qi and blood through simple methods; she also explained daily care points such as soaking feet in warm water and maintaining warmth, to assist the residents in scientifically coping with winter blood pressure fluctuations and protecting vascular health.

"The doctor's pulse examination was particularly meticulous. Not only did he analyze my physical condition, but he also told me what to eat and how to maintain in winter. It was so caring!" "Being able to measure blood pressure and listen to health lectures at our doorstep, without having to go to the hospital, is so convenient!" The residents' praises kept coming, their words filled with recognition and gratitude for the free medical service. 
As a grassroots platform for traditional Chinese medicine services, the Fuzheng Hall of the Laizi District Branch of Yantai Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital has always adhered to the service concept of "centering on patients", actively carrying out convenient services such as introducing traditional Chinese medicine to communities and families, making high-quality traditional Chinese medicine services accessible to everyone. This charity medical consultation event not only provided residents with convenient and efficient medical services, but also popularized scientific winter traditional Chinese medicine health preservation knowledge, further narrowing the distance with community residents. In the future, the Fuzheng Hall of the Laizi District Branch will continue to carry out such public welfare activities, allowing traditional Chinese medicine culture to permeate the grassroots level, and providing professional medical services to safeguard the physical and mental health of residents in the jurisdiction.
