Mission Statement
The Montreal Heart Institute Foundation raises and manages funds to support research, care, teaching, prevention, rehabilitation, and the evaluation of new technologies at the Montreal Heart Institute. The Foundation’s goal is to foster excellence within an internationally recognized institution dedicated to fighting cardiovascular disease, the world’s leading cause of death. Its work encourages innovation and ensures the Institute fully achieves its mission for the benefit of the Quebec community and beyond.

Geographic Focus
The Foundation is based in Montreal, Quebec, and primarily supports the Montreal Heart Institute. Its impact extends across the province of Quebec, but it also benefits individuals across Canada and, through its research and clinical leadership, has a global reach. The Foundation’s fundraising and health initiatives are rooted in Montreal, but their effects and knowledge sharing contribute to advancements nationally and internationally.

Program Highlights
Key initiatives include funding advanced cardiovascular research, patient care enhancements, professional training, and prevention programs. The Foundation supports innovative medical projects and the adoption of cutting-edge technology. Highlights include the development of Canada’s first prevention department for heart health, a major cardiovascular genetics centre, and national leadership in simulation-based cardiology training. The Foundation organizes community fundraising events, secures major corporate gifts, and helps deliver state-of-the-art care to thousands of patients every year through its partnership with the Institute.
