While Saskatchewan has a range of research and treatment centres devoted to many areas of medical care, there remains an ongoing conversation about how cardiac prevention, awareness, and coordination can continue to evolve. The Saskatchewan Heart Centre supports discussion around innovative service models that may help strengthen cardiac education and awareness across the province.
Our long-term vision is to contribute to conversations aimed at improving quality of life for people affected by cardiac conditions and encouraging approaches that support prevention and patient education. These goals align with broader wellness-focused health initiatives in Saskatchewan.
We advocate for collaborative approaches that bring together clinicians, researchers, educators, and community leaders to share knowledge and explore integrated models of care. Our role is advisory and educational, focused on dialogue and awareness rather than operating clinical services.
Through partnership-building and outreach, we hope to support conversations about how cardiac resources may become more coordinated and accessible in both urban and rural communities.
We are also interested in supporting research awareness and knowledge exchange related to cardiovascular health. Any future research partnerships would occur in collaboration with appropriate institutions and within applicable ethical and regulatory frameworks.
The Saskatchewan Heart Centre supports awareness and dialogue around cardiovascular research and innovation. We are interested in encouraging conversations about advances in prevention, education, and scientific understanding of heart disease.
Our role is to promote knowledge exchange and collaboration between researchers, educators, and community partners. Any research activity would occur only through partnerships with appropriate institutions and within applicable ethical and regulatory frameworks.
Our goal is to enhance the survival rates and quality of life for persons living with cardiac disease. Reduce the incidence of re-admission to hospitals for persons living with cardiac disease. SHC will also support the effective reform of health care services in Saskatchewan through the development of an integrated, multidisciplinary cardiac health care service delivery model.
The Saskatchewan Heart Centre service delivery programs mainly targeted towards management of two cardiac disease states, namely, coronary artery disease (secondary prevention) and cardiac failure. These two diseases constitute 90% of cardiology practice. Facilitating improved communication and data sharing through a central database will enhance the timely and cost-efficient assessment and diagnosis of persons with suspected cardiac health conditions.
Persons with confirmed or suspected cardiac health problems with be provided with better access to appropriate health care services, regardless of where they live in Saskatchewan.
It will be easier for all people - regardless of age, sex or income - to access the full range of cardiac health care services they require.
Patient care will be improved through the establishment of an integrated, multidisciplinary approach to cardiac health care.
Waiting lists for cardiac consultation and health care beds will be reduced as patient services are provided in the community and as patients learn how to better maintain/improve their health status.
Containment of overall health care costs can be achieved through the more efficient use of existing resources (beds, lab tests, medical personnel, time).
Data will be available to facilitate evaluation of the effectiveness of patient care, drug therapy and response to treatment.
Cardiologists and other health care providers will have better access to the resources required to provide patient care (up-to-date research findings, comprehensive patient data and evidence-based treatment protocols as well as the opportunity to easily access the services of other health care providers).
Jobs will be created and other economic benefits will be realized in the operation of a state-of-the-art research facility.
Future generations will benefit from research now being conducted to discover ways to prevent cardiovascular disease.
Your small donation can help make a big difference. Join our mission to ensure quality cardiac care for our future generations.
