THE ENYI MD FOUNDATION
The ENYI MD Foundation was created in memory of Dr. Enyi Okereke, an orthopedic surgeon and Chief Foot and Ankle Service at the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center. Enyi became a victim of the inadequate healthcare system in Nigeria that he was very committed to improving.
The ENYI MD Foundation is a non-profit organization committed to improving the state of emergency health services in Nigeria.
DR. ENYI OKEREKE
Enyi Okereke was born in Bonny, Nigeria on April 26, 1954, died November 25, 2008 while
on a medical mission.
13th ANNUAL ENYI MD FOUNDATION 5K RUN and FAMILY FUN WALK
For over a decade, family, friends, colleagues, and supporters of Dr. Enyi Okereke meet to celebrate his life and honor his memory by participating in The Foundation's 5K Run and Family Fun Walk.
Dr. Enyi, ironically, was the true specimen of human fitness and conscientious good and healthy living. A suave, trim and urbane person, he worked out assiduously, ran races - including marathons, yet he succumbed to a heart attack, while on a philanthropic medical mission to Enugu, Nigeria, where he was attending a conference on arthroscopic surgery.
Those privileged to have met or associated with him personally or professionally, came away from such encounters, nourished and challenged by Enyi's strong sense of mission, values and beliefs in work ethics, family and friendship.
