E P Chester Foundation
A 501 ( C) 3 Non-Profit Organization

 

Evelyn Pearl Floyd- Chester was born in the 1930's to God-fearing Christian parents in a small town in Alabama.  

Although they were below the Federal income poverty-line, their

home was filled with love, Christian values, and high morals.

God blessed Evelyn with a full scholarship to The "Lincoln School for Nurses" which was a historical training school

for African American women nurses, founded in 1898 as a training school, and later becoming

the Lincoln School for Nurses in 1902, which was one of the

first nursing schools for black women in the United States.

Upon Graduation, Evelyn Pearl Floyd-Chester began her career endeavors in New York City Hospital and

successfully retired from their health and human services hospital system.  

E P Chester Foundation, established in 2022, has financial supported underserved, underrepresented women who are enrolled in college majoring in Nursing pursuant to a degree.
