The Heart and Stroke Foundation | PEI is a non-profit health charity dedicated to reducing death and disability from heart disease and stroke among Islanders. We are a volunteer-driven organization. Volunteers help us fulfill our mission by participating at every level of our activities. Volunteers guide the long-term planning and direction of the Foundation through their membership on our Board of Directors. They help raise funds by participating in our Person-to-Person (P2P) campaign during Heart Month and other events. They deliver our health promotion programs, including CPR courses, and others. Volunteers are our most valued resource, the heart of our organization, and number more than 130,000 strong across Canada.

Hospice PEI is a community of caring individuals making each day count for Islanders and their families through our volunteer led hospice support, comfort, and care programs, as well as advocacy and education for quality palliative and hospice care. We also support Island families after a loved one’s death through our grief support services.

The Epilepsy Association of the Maritimes, as its mandate, offers education, support and advocacy to enable our clients to increase their quality of life, to grow and prosper in this world. We encourage utilization of supports offered within our organization and in the wider community, to help overcome the obstacles still present in society and increase justice, equity, diversity and inclusion for those living with epilepsy. Our programs enhance support and education to our vulnerable population, engaging them in understanding all facets of their disease and assisting them to obtain the therapeutic interventions they so badly need. We also offer education and support to businesses or community groups whose affiliates are impacted by epilepsy.
