Heart & Stroke is a Canadian nonprofit focused on heart disease, stroke, and vascular cognitive impairment. It funds life-saving medical research and acts as a catalyst to unite researchers, clinicians, patients and donors to improve diagnosis, care, and support. Since 1952, it has invested more than $1.65 billion to support researchers pursuing revolutionary medical advances, and the national death rate from heart disease and stroke has declined by over 75% during this period. Based in Toronto, Ontario, the organization operates as a large national nonprofit dedicated to advancing heart and brain health. In June 2026, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research partnered with Heart & Stroke, along with FRQ and Michael Smith Health Research BC, to advance resilient and equitable health research systems.
