The Edna G. Kynett Memorial Foundation, established by Harold H. Kynett in memory of his wife, is dedicated to improving cardiovascular health in the Delaware Valley. It supports community health initiatives, professional education, and research programs aimed at the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease.
The Edna G. Kynett Memorial Foundation Grant focuses on enhancing cardiovascular health through three main areas: community health, professional education, and research. It aims to support community health programs targeting cardiac health in underserved, high-risk populations. In professional education, the foundation specifically funds continuing education programs for health service providers in the Philadelphia region, with an emphasis on those working with underserved communities. Research efforts are directed towards investigating cardiovascular health issues, particularly prevention and risk factors, with a focus on women, children, minorities, and the economically disadvantaged, as well as healthcare delivery in underserved areas.
