Hospice PEI

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.

Students for Herd Immunity is a Canadian not-for-profit organization working to bridge gaps in vaccine education and mobilize youth to tackle vaccine hesitancy within local communities. Students for Herd Immunity provides resource support to 2000+ schools across every Canadian province and territory and has trained student ambassadors across 200+ schools throughout North America.

Heart & Stroke is a leading funder of life-saving research, which has led to breakthroughs such as heart transplant surgery and a revolutionary stroke treatment that cuts the death rate by 50%. We empower Canadians to live healthier lives — from preventing and controlling high blood pressure to getting more physical activity. And we fight for change that will create better health for all, such as reducing salt in the food supply and improving access to stroke rehabilitation. Heart & Stroke leads the fight against heart disease, stroke and related conditions. Together these diseases are still the number one cause of premature death in Canada. Our work is driven by collaboration — with our volunteers and donors, researchers, people who have lived experience, healthcare professionals, governments and others — and guided by this strategy
