About

The EastBridge Foundation is a 501(c)(3) designated nonprofit corporation dedicated to Equity in Health and Education. EBF strives to improve the outcomes of health care and education among economically disadvantaged and immigrant populations.  The Founders, Chuen L. Yee and Benjamin Eng also want to dedicate EBF to the memories of their parents, Siu Man Yee & Choi Chu Tam;  and Joseph Kok Ping Eng & Caroline Gew Lon Ng.

​

The EastBridge Foundation was founded on the principle that people deserve a chance to lead healthy and productive lives, regardless of the circumstances to which they were born.  Chuen and Ben share similar and sometimes typical stories of many immigrants to America.  Both benefited from the courageous decisions their parents made to immigrate to America, and then the examples they set and the support they provided to ensure the future of their children.  Both Chuen and Ben attended public schools and then were first generation college students.  Both went on to medical school, and have enjoyed medical careers crossing nonprofit and for profit sectors, in many roles including direct patient care, medical teaching, administration, research, medical strategy and communications.   In short, they were the beneficiaries of the support of their parents, institutions and mentors along the way, which made all the difference.

​

The EastBridge Foundation strives to make a difference for others, in health and in education, by looking for opportunities to leverage our experience to add in-kind value, make strategic investments in defined projects,  with partners who have aligned missions and complementary skills, to make a measurable and eventually scalable impact.
