Supporting Life Saving Care Is At The Heart Of Everything We Do

With an enormous amount of compassionate care and hard work, the University of Ottawa Heart Institute has become a recognized, international leader in cardiovascular care, treatment and research.

The University of Ottawa Heart Institute Foundation is the bridge that connects the programs, facilities and people who save lives every day, with the individual and corporate philanthropists in our community. 

Through the generous support of the community, the Foundation plays a vital role in ensuring that many of the most critical components of world-class care are available. Funds raised are used for much needed equipment, facilities, patient programs, research and, helping an exceptional team of health care professionals advance cardiovascular care and save lives everyday.

Although not required, we encourage you to fundraise to further support cardiac care at the Heart Institute. Fundraise a minimum of $30 and you will receive your very own pair of Team Heart socks to wear proudly on race day!
