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.
