You’re Invited!
Join us as we celebrate the 2023 Alpha Phi Foundation Heart to Heart recipient – University of Florida Health! Now in its 30th year and awarded annually, the Heart to Heart Grant funds research and educational programs that support the advancement of women’s heart health and cardiac care. The University of Florida will use their $100,000 grant for the project Hearts on Fire: Targeting Inflammation in Women with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction, a diagnosis particularly prevalent in women.
“We are building the future of how we treat women and cardiac disease.”
– Colleen Sirhal, former Heart to Heart Advisory Council Chair
Heart to Heart Grant Celebration – Wednesday, November 15
Meet lead project investigators Dr. Ellen Keeley, Dr. Carl Pepine, Dr. Mohammad Al-Ani, and Dr. Julio Duarte as they discuss their research and participate in a Q&A.
