Catherine Fox Foundation

The Catherine Fox Foundation is a foundation run by Jackson Avery dedicated to creating equity in medicine across the country. The foundation was created when the Harper Avery Foundation's name was sullied when word of sexual harassment by its founder got out.
==History==
The foundation was founded after the reputation of the Harper Avery Foundation was severely damaged by sexual harassment allegations against Harper Avery. While Catherine Avery was initially going to take the fall for it rather than fighting the women who had come forward about the abuse, Jackson Avery didn't want her to do that after all the work she had put into building the Foundation's name. He and Meredith Grey then teamed up and came up with the idea of the Catherine Fox Foundation.
They presented it to Catherine with a press statement, which stated that the Catherine Fox Foundation wanted to take part in the comprehensive, systemic change required to change the culture that enables sexual harassment. Therefore, the Harper Avery Foundation would be dissolved effective immediately to make way for new vision, new light, and new hope. The Foundation also promised to give voice to those who were silenced, to listen to and learn from every woman's story. They promised to repay, retrain, and rehire every victim of Harper's abuse.
The Catherine Fox Foundation preserves and nurtures all the hospitals that were previously run by the Harper Avery Foundation.
When Catherine had to live with cancer, she found she didn't have as much energy as she used to and decided to appoint Tom Koracick as Chief Medical Officer of the Foundation to oversee all Chiefs of Surgery and department Chiefs of the Catherine Fox Medical Centers all over the country including, Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. A year later, however, Tom was fired after he failed to secure an essential order of PPE, costing the Foundation one hundred thousand dollars. Richard Webber was selected as his replacement.
