YOUR IMPACT

Research Impact

The University of Ottawa Heart Institute was built on the steadfast support of an exceptional donor community.

Now we are ready to be bolder and dream bigger.

Join us on the next exciting journey as physicians and scientists work hand in hand with patients in “bench-to-bedside” clinical research and focus on precision medicine, tailoring treatment to the individual patient. Our innovative heart teams will tackle some of the most serious heart diseases including arrythmias, atherosclerosis, valvular disease and heart failure.

Your support of February is Heart Month will ensure that the Heart Institute continues to provide the best possible care for patients and their families, while shaping the way cardio-vascular medicine is practiced now, and in the years ahead. The Heart Institute will always be a special place for healing, learning and caring.
