Our Mission and initiativesThe Heart and Stroke Foundation of Québec, with the support and commitment of its donors, volunteers and employees, is dedicated to the advancement of research and the promotion of heart health in order to reduce disabilities and the number of deaths attributed to cardiovascular disease and stroke. Research It ensures the maintenance and the development of fundamental and crucial research on new therapeutic approaches for one of the most devastating health problem of our time. With this support, the Québec researchers significantly contributed to many achievements in heart health research. The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Québec will allocate, in 2003-2004, about 3,3 million dollars to more than 130 researchers in about 30 great institutions, hospital and universities of Quebec.

Our participation in conferences, our training programs intended for health professionals, the creation of working groups gathering these professionals, our brochures and information activities for the general public are some of the many ways to modify the behaviour of the population regarding heart health.
