This sum was raised thanks to individual and corporate donations and fundraising events such as galas, golf tournaments, contests and partnerships organized by the Foundation and by volunteer organizations and individuals.

The money will enable the MHI to acquire new, state-of-the-art equipment, fund research projects and establish heart disease prevention programs.  

The Montreal Heart Institute is an ultra-specialized hospital centre of international calibre. It owes its standing to its doctors and researchers who provide exceptional care to some 50,000 patients yearly thanks to the highly innovative technologies they have at their disposal.

The Foundation would like to express its gratitude to all its donors, corporate partners and sponsors who, through their generosity, make a significant contribution to maintaining excellence at the MHI.

For the past 28 years, the mission of the MHI Foundation has been to raise and administer various funds to support research and technological development at the Montreal Heart Institute.
