Meshkin Foundation » Who We Are

Evi is an accomplished fashion model turned passionate entrepreneur. Evi champions the fundamental belief that optimal nutrition shouldn’t be a luxury. Her mission centers on democratizing access to nutrient-rich foods, ensuring that quality ingredients and healthy living are accessible across all economic boundaries, not just the privileged few.

Evi is driven by a deep understanding of nutrition’s impact on wellbeing. She brings a unique perspective shaped by both her successful modeling career and her Lithuanian heritage. Her journey from the fashion world, where she developed extensive knowledge of health and nutrition, has evolved into a mission to promote longevity through mindful eating and culinary innovation.

Growing up in Lithuania, Evi was profoundly influenced by her family’s stories of hardship during the Soviet era, when food scarcity and healthcare challenges were daily realities. These personal connections to food insecurity have fueled her dedication to community service. Today, alongside her husband Alex, she channels this passion into creating transformative culinary experiences and managing initiatives that connect local organic farms with underserved communities.

Drawing from her expertise in nutrition and wellness, Evi curates themed events that showcase the power of healthy eating while educating others about the connection between diet and longevity. Her work goes beyond simply sharing nutritious recipes – it represents a commitment to ensuring that quality, health-promoting foods are accessible to all, continuing a legacy of care that bridges her past experiences with her vision for a healthier future.

Alex Meshkin is a pioneering entrepreneur who has consistently broken new ground across multiple industries. Alex Meshkin stands at the intersection of technological innovation and healthcare transformation. His leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic exemplified this synergy when he established one of the nation’s most successful testing laboratories, delivering critical diagnostic services when they were needed most.

This same pioneering spirit now fuels The Meshkin Foundation’s mission. By combining breakthrough technology with deep healthcare expertise, the Foundation develops scalable solutions that address critical medical challenges while empowering both patients and healthcare providers. Under Alex’s guidance, the Foundation harnesses cutting-edge innovations to tackle healthcare’s most pressing issues, creating pathways to better, more accessible care for all.

Transitioning to healthcare technology, Meshkin founded one of North America’s leading
molecular diagnostic laboratories. The lab emerged as a crucial partner for the entertainment
industry during the COVID-19 pandemic, enabling production companies to maintain operations
through comprehensive testing solutions. His latest venture, Adia, represents a paradigm shift in
healthcare delivery by integrating advanced clinical artificial intelligence with innovative payment
systems, simultaneously addressing both diagnostic accuracy challenges and financial friction
points for medical providers.

Through his family office, Meshkin continues to identify and invest in transformative
technologies across diverse sectors, demonstrating his commitment to fostering innovation
beyond healthcare. His unique blend of entrepreneurial success, technological insight, and
healthcare innovation has established him as an influential voice in the industry, regularly
sharing his expertise at major conferences and industry forums.

Mary Ann, Alex’s mother, has dedicated her life to caring for animals and people in need. Starting with rescuing stray animals as a child, she later became a mother of two and served as a hospital chaplain associate helping terminally ill patients. Today, she works with a foundation to help low-income families keep and care for their pets through financial assistance and guidance.

From her earliest days, Mary Ann, Alex’s mother, has been a beacon of compassion for both animals
and children. As a young girl, she opened her heart and home to stray animals, even hand-nursing
three baby raccoons that had tumbled down her family’s chimney. This nurturing spirit blossomed
into devoted motherhood to her two sons, and later extended to the many “fur babies” who became
part of her family.

Mary Ann’s calling to care for those in need led her to serve as a chaplain associate in the hospital,
where she provided comfort to terminally ill patients. Walking alongside them on their final journey
taught her profound lessons about love and human connection.

Today, her mission continues through her dedication to helping underprivileged families care for their
beloved pets. While she has already touched countless lives individually, Mary Ann’s work with the
foundation aims to expand her reach, providing both financial assistance and guidance to those
struggling to care for their fur babies. Her vision is to ensure that no family has to choose between
keeping their pets and making ends meet.
