The Montreal Heart Institute Foundation (MHIF) is pleased to announce that it was able to turn over an astounding $9,417,616 to its Institute for 2004-2005. Announced on June 10, 2004 during the MHIF's general assembly, this record-breaking amount will fund various research and technological development projects.

Part of the money has been earmarked for a new hemodynamics room and state-of-the-art equipment, including a nuclear medicine camera and a tomodensitometre (CT scanner) with a computer and display console.

The funds will also finance the development of the MHI's Research Centre and thereby preserve the Institute's pioneering status all over the world.

The Foundation's directors and staff are very proud to support the MHI and its employees in their development and are deeply grateful to all the donors and collaborators who made this acquisition possible. Thanks to their generosity, the Montreal Heart Institute can offer Quebecers the best cardiology care in the world, right here in Montréal.
