Connecting Our Community to The Heart Institute

The University of Ottawa Heart Institute Foundation’s mission is to connect our community to the work being done at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute by:

  • Developing channels for fundraising and philanthropic support
  • Creating volunteer opportunities
