As we near the end of Heart Health Month, we are looking back at a transformative moment in the history of Alpha Phi Foundation’s commitment to cardiac care.

For three decades, the Heart to Heart Grant was a prestigious award granted to institutions with the purpose of furthering clinical research. But as the landscape of women’s health evolved, so did we.

In 2024, Alpha Phi Foundation expanded the reach of its signature Heart to Heart Grant by adding a community education award alongside its clinical research grant. This evolution allows the Foundation to support grassroots educational endeavors that empower communities with life-saving heart health knowledge and resources.

The Inaugural Recipient: The first grant was awarded to the University of Missouri for the Missouri CARES Heart Squad.

The Mission: This pioneering program embarked on a mission to increase the rates of bystander CPR and AED usage across the state.

Focusing on Women: Crucially, the program focused on the utilization of female training manikins—addressing the specific barriers to providing life-saving care to women in cardiac arrest.

A Growing Legacy: Since that first award in 1993, the Heart to Heart Grant has become the cornerstone of our Women’s Heart Health Program, funding over 30 years of breakthroughs, now including a vital community education endeavor.

Our 70-day countdown to Alpha Phi Foundation’s 70th Birthday continues! Today, we are celebrating a sister who perfectly bridges the gap between our historic mission for heart health and the professional expertise of our modern sisterhood.

Meet Jen Verkamp - Alpha Phi of Kent State University
Jen serves as the Chair of the Heart to Heart Advisory Council. When she isn't leading our cardiac grant efforts, she serves her community as an outpatient oncology infusion nurse in Southwest Indiana.

Jen shares that serving on the Council has been incredibly rewarding: "Reviewing innovative grant applications, hearing from passionate researchers, and recommending a deserving grant recipient to the Foundation Board of Directors has been a fascinating process."

The Power of the Council
The Heart to Heart Advisory Council isn't just about reviewing paperwork; it’s about a lifelong bond and professional collaboration. Jen highlights that her experience is magnified by working alongside sisters who are experts in:
Cardiology and Public Health
Healthcare Informatics
Research and Administration

Jen’s dedication reminds us why we celebrate this 70-year milestone. As she puts it, Alpha Phi "challenged me to grow as a leader, increased my self confidence," and provided a place to call home.

Join us in thanking Jen for her heart-led leadership in the comments below! 👇❤️

Happy National Wear Red Day! 👠 Today, we join the world in wearing red to raise awareness for women’s heart health—a cause Alpha Phi has championed for decades.

As we continue our 70-day countdown to the Alpha Phi Foundation’s 70th Birthday, we’re looking back at the 1960s and 70s, a time when Alpha Phi was cementing its place as a national leader in cardiac advocacy.

A Trailblazing Legacy
Long before heart health was a global conversation, Alpha Phis were on the ground, driving research and education forward. Our impact was so significant that it commanded national attention:

Earning National Respect: Throughout the '60s and '70s, the Foundation was regularly recognized as one of the greatest contributors to researching heart disease.

High Praise: In 1964, our members received a "sincere thank you" from the president of the American Heart Association for our relentless efforts.

Award-Winning Service: From the 1966 Convention to special honors in 1973, Alpha Phi was repeatedly celebrated for "outstanding service in advancing the heart program."

Standing on Our Own
While these historical accolades show how far our reach extended, they also tell the story of Alpha Phi's independent strength. We didn't just support the cause; we led it. Today, we continue that tradition by standing tall as a powerhouse for women’s heart health, funded by sisters, for the world.

Are you wearing red today? Post a photo in the comments and show your Alpha Phi heart! 🤳❤️
