The University of Ottawa Heart Institute was founded in 1976 on the site of the Ottawa Civic Hospital by Dr Wilbert J. Keon. Since then it has become a global leader in the fight against heart disease.

What started as a department in a hospital has evolved into Canada's only complete cardiac centre, encompassing prevention, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, research and education.

The Institute is affiliated with The Ottawa Hospital and the University of Ottawa.
