Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada
The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada is a federation of 10 provincial Foundations, led and supported by a force of more than 130,000 volunteers.
- In 2010, the Foundation invested more than $106 million into research, health promotion and community programs.
- The Foundation relies on the generous donations of millions of Canadians.
- The Foundation receives no operational funding from government sources.
Heart disease and stroke take 1 in 3 Canadians before their time and they are the #1 killer of women. The Foundation aims to build healthier hearts and minds across Canada by bringing life-saving knowledge to the communities we serve, through our local offices and the healthcare providers we support with education and resources.
We have the passion and courage to explore, through scientific excellence and innovation, ways to protect the health of all Canadians — old and young — in communities across the nation.
