With the goal of empowering women worldwide, The HOPE Museum promotes women’s health and social justice by displaying the history, art, and science of women through education with interactive exhibits focused on personal impact, struggle and recovery, transformation, health, disease prevention, well-being, and social justice.
History and art conveying women’s struggles, achievements, and dignity overcoming adversity celebrate femininity, beauty, and hope.
The HOPE Museum is a global learning center for the public and health professionals teaching the science of prevention and recovery from diseases disproportionately affecting women, such as breast and ovarian cancer, heart and bone disease, fertility, reconstructive surgery, and emotional recovery. During 2013, one evening in Tampa, Florida, at a dinner meeting of the International Board of Medicine and Surgery (IBMS), several IBMS Certified/Affiliated Members, including Dr. Vijay Sharma, IBMS President, Dr. Steven Moss, IBMS Director of the Emerald Circle of the Finest Healthcare Providers Worldwide, Randy Sides, Chairman JHS Architecture, and Peter Decico, Mergenet Solutions, sat together and dreamed of a water lily structure in the waters near Tampa Bay with airplanes flying overhead landing from all parts of the United States and the World.
This idea merged with the courageous and artistic female struggle of artist Dr. Janhavi Sharma, Agra INDIA, who had previously shared her experience and artistic achievements with our members; together this blended into the concept of The HOPE Museum.
Dr. Charles Lewis, graciously became the Executive Director and took the responsibility of developing The HOPE Museum Board, a 501(c) (3) organization, business plan and internet website.
Randy Sides, the architect, used his company’s resources to develop the prototype design.
During 2015, Dr. David P. Kalin MD MPH, IBMS Chairman, sponsored the inaugural fundraiser for over 100 guests at the Tampa Airport Marriot, IBMS Celebration, Reaching for One Human, One World, One Health by Establishing the Global Doctor/Patient Relationship.
