At the Heart and Stroke Foundation, our goal is to give you more years of life - quality years that will allow you to continue doing all the things you love for longer. Our researchers are helping improve treatments, create new therapies and find the best prevention methods to help Canadians live longer and healthier.
Thanks to your support, we fund more than 450 researchers and research teams at medical institutes, universities and hospitals across Ontario.
Together we're moving ever closer toward our goal of eliminating heart disease and stroke. We're funding research projects across Ontario in critical areas including:
- Increasing investments in stroke research
- Fighting childhood obesity by funding obesity research and advocacy initiatives with Spark Together for Healthy Kids™
- Improving cardiac arrest survival rates with close to 1,600 active certified CPR instructors and more than 2,200 AEDs placed across the province
- Addressing gaps in resources for adults and children living with heart disease
