The Dr. Edwin Everest Foundation was created and founded by his son, Dr. Michael Everest after the passing of Dr. Edwin A.D. Everest in 2008 (1948-2008). Today, in part by his wife, Mrs. Bimla Everest, alongside his daughter-in- law, Mrs. Agata Everest, and his three grandchildren the foundation has evolved into The Everest Family Foundation and the next generation carry the yoke of his passion and vision.
The Everest Foundation also invokes an Advisory Board, consisting of some of the most prestigious leaders in academia, medicine, and business. The Everest Foundation was conceptualized to preserve the legacy of its namesake and his unwavering dedication to his family. The late Dr. Everest was a prolific doctor and educator. He taught both students and leaders of graduate medical education the need for innovation and forward thinking. He was gifted in predicting trends and finding solutions to the looming threats of the “residency bottleneck” and physician shortages that are now part of the landscape affecting America.
These disparities have now encompassed medical school graduates and medical residency and fellowship training, and are part of the reality of rural and vulnerable populations in the U.S.
In his later years, he made it his goal to dedicate his life helping around the parameters of the individual student and graduate medical education departments, optimization of teaching hospitals, and assisting vulnerable population demographics. After the passing of the family patriarch in 2008, the foundation formalized his desires and aspirations in its mission statement. The foundation is specifically interested in focusing in IDDM and Cardiac research as an adage to his posthumous legacy. The Everest Foundation was founded to display the light of his energy in the form of focusing on the needy.
“Family values” to me means patience, loyalty and grace.
At the Everest Foundation, we live by the philosophy that our actions and prayers are intended to repair and improve the world.
As the Everest Family Foundation is moving from second generation to third generation, we are stewards of the vision embossed above. We are solutions oriented to alleviate the suffering of humanity, specifically our vulnerable populations and the ones suffering in mind and body.
Through research and building the leaders of medicine, we bring the passion of education instilled through Dr. Edwin Everest, our namesake, evolving in our current leadership.
I am humbled that my wife is the chairperson, dedicated to our mission and that my young children partake in our community-driven efforts to support orphans, and homeless revivals.
I often think about how to instill into my children, the principles of love your fellow man, and to love over hate. I am then reminded that I can talk and talk, but actions speak louder than words. That is why I am driven to move The Everest Foundation to be Part of the Cure™.
Very Truly,
Dr. Michael Everest Founder and Chairman Emeritus
