About us
For over 70 years, Heart & Stroke has been at the forefront of tackling pressing issues related to heart disease, stroke and vascular cognitive impairment. We drive life-saving medical breakthroughs and act as a catalyst to bring together the brightest minds to improve diagnosis, care and support. Our work has saved thousands of lives and improved millions of others. Since 1952, we have invested more than $1.65 billion into supporting best-in-class researchers as they work to discover revolutionary medical advances. In that time, the death rate from heart disease and stroke in Canada has declined by over 75%. Working together, our employees, volunteers, researchers, partners, people with lived experience and their families, and donors have made us what we are today: Canada’s most trusted authority on heart and brain health. Together, we will beat heart disease and stroke. *** Depuis plus de 70 ans, Cœur + AVC joue un rôle de premier plan dans la lutte contre les maladies du cœur, l’AVC et les déficits cognitifs d’origine vasculaire.
