The gold standard of treatment at Hazel McCallion Centre for Heart Health

As the regional advanced cardiac care centre, the Hazel McCallion Centre for Heart Health must keep pace with increasing demand and technological advances. Your support, through Gala 2009, will help upgrade our equipment to save or improve the lives of more patients from across the western GTA.
