Fondation Institut de Cardiologie de Montréal
Since 1977, the Foundation has been raising and managing funds to support the innovative projects carried out at the Montreal Heart Institute (MHI), a highly specialized cardiology hospital. The MHI was founded in 1954 and is affiliated with the Université de Montréal. It is home to Canada’s largest cardiology research centre, cardiovascular prevention centre, and cardiovascular genetics centre (icm-mhi.org). Thanks to the Foundation’s philanthropic events and contributions from donors, the MHI has become a global pioneer in cardiovascular health and the nation’s leading cardiology research centre. Since it was founded, the Foundation has raised more than $400 million. These funds have made major breakthroughs possible and are used to support the MHI’s specialists, professionals, and researchers as they provide cutting-edge care to tens of thousands of Quebecers.
