Board Members
Shavon Chester- Vice President
Shavon Chester has a passion for the Ronald McDonald House that began 4 years ago when her company, the Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center of Cape Coral came into the House to cook a meal for the families. “Even though I do not personally have children, the mission and vision of RMHSWFL is close to my heart.” Shavon also loves the elderly, which lead to her long career in healthcare. She found her fit when she joined the Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center of Cape Coral, a subsidiary of a not for profit facility that specializes in Skilled Nursing. “Through my professional career with Cape Rehab, and my Volunteer work with Ronald McDonald house, I am getting the best of both worlds! The young generation and the older!”. When Shavon is not working or volunteering, she is busy with other volunteer organizations that she belongs to: Junior League of Fort Myers, SIYA (Supporting Independent Young Adults) CAMEO (Co-operative Associates Marketing Elderly Options) and the Dr. Ella Piper Senior Center for Social Services.
