Meet Our Founders
The CMC Foundation was started by podiatrists Mark, Chrissy, and Cole whose relationship goes back to their days as undergraduates.
Throughout their studies, one thing they each noticed was an air of competition in the education and medical fields that they felt was unnecessary. This CMC Foundation was born out of the idea that rather than competing with fellow residents and doctors, what’s best for everyone is equal access to knowledge and resources.
Our goal is to give all students and residents the educational opportunities and encouragement they need to improve and to provide quality health information to the general public.
