  • 60 Years of Making Hearts Beat
    60 Years of Making Hearts Beat 2013-2014 Annual Report Montreal Heart Institute And Montreal Heart Institute Foundation AFFILIATED TO Montreal Heart Institute & Montreal Heart Institute Foundation 1 Founded in 1954 by Dr. Paul David, the Montreal Heart Institute (MHI) is cele- brating its 60th anniversary in 2014. This commemorative year is an opportunity to recognize the remarkable achievements that have made the MHI one of the world’s leading cardiology centres—a reputation it has earned from the high quality of not only its patient care but also its research, prevention and teaching activities. With solid roots in Montréal and an international reputation, the MHI has spent the past 60 years bringing together passionate experts who push the boundaries of medicine to provide exceptional ultraspecialized care to Quebeckers. Its values are founded on respect for patients and their families and concern for their quality of life, the recognition of human resources, sound management, the constant search for excellence and innovation, the protection of public health, an openness to the community and the health care network, as well as transparency and patients’ informed consent. Since 1977, the Montreal Heart Institute Foundation has collected and adminis- tered funds to support research, care, prevention and teaching at the Institute. The Foundation therefore has a hand in the excellence of a world-class institution that serves the Quebec community. Through its values and commitment, the Foundation contributes to the innovative approach and lasting future of the Montreal Heart Institute. It places value on involvement, integrity, listening and respect to obtain conclusive and effective results, all while responsibly, honestly, transparently and soundly managing the funds entrusted to it.
