Monthly drawing of the Renaissance Heart
You could win a heart sculpted in antique blown glass, designed by Jean-Marie Rivard, to honour the excellent patient care dispensed at the Institute.

The Renaissance Heart was inspired from the age-old stained-glass window-making tradition. Made of glass and led, the two facets of the heart represent the professionalism of our staff and the innovative care dispensd at the MHI. The heart is on a globe, symbolizing the medical world, and the median arrow represents our state-of-the-art technology.  The laminated antique glass was sand-blown, symbolizing both the body's vulnerability and durability. And finally, the metal frame was gold-plated to mark the invaluable services rendered to our world by dedicated workers and board members of the MHI and its Foundation.

Honour Board of the Montreal Heart Institute Foundation

Want to see your or a friend's name on the honour board of the Institute's recognition wall?

It can easily happen since your contributions accrue year after year!  For example, once you've given $1,000, regardless of the donation period, you're automatically listed as a Member on our prominently displayed honour board. At the $5,000 mark, you become an Associate Member. Other categories are also listed on the chart below. So, depending on your donation level, you could be in one of the following categories:

The chart is reviewed every June, so if your total donations place you at a higher echelon, the Foundation will change your name and notify you in writing. We hope you'll inspire others to follow your example!

The Loyalty Group

The Montreal Heart Institute Foundation is keen on recognizing its loyal donors! So throughout the year, a series of letters will be mailed to loyal donors who have given over many consecutive years. Some of you have been loyal to us for over 20 years! We want to acknowledge your abiding loyalty to the Foundation and your generosity of spirit.

On June 19th, 2007,  some 100 donors - all members of the MHI Foundation's Loyalty Group - attended an exclusive cocktail reception given in their honour to acknowledge their steadfast support.  

(Un group of loyal donors assisting Dr. Ramon Brugada's conference.)

At the event held at the Institute, guests had the opportunity to meet Dr. Ramon Brugada, a Cardiologist and researcher,  who presented his work on Cardiac genetics and on the sudden death syndrome, called Brugada's syndrome. His studies focuses on the Brugada syndrome , which happened towards persons of a same family.

Dr. Brugada's presentation was followed by a cocktail reception during which attendees had the chance to meet and exchange with Foundation staff. Many guests, some of whom are former patients of the MHI, used the opportunity to testify to the excellent care delivered at the Heart Institute.

A second cocktail was also held on tuesday august 14th, 2007.
