There’s always something HEART-HEALTHY going on at the MHC!
At the Maritime Heart Center, we believe prevention is just as important as treatment – so there’s ALWAYS something going on in your community to promote heart-health, whether it’s a special fundraising event or one of our ongoing community health initiatives.
Check out what’s going on right now:

Eat Your Heart Out, Halifax!
Eat Your Heart Out is a fantastic new restaurant-based initiative designed to raise money, raise awareness of heart disease and promote our vibrant restaurant industry!
On April 24th our Eat Your Heart Out event donated 15% of food sales to the Maritime Heart Center – so our community got to support heart disease e care and prevention simply by dining out! Click here for to see which restaurants took part. And look out for MANY more restaurants for our 2013 event!!!
And our fabulous new cookbook (only $15!) features recipes from Halifax’s best restaurants (Chives, Fid, Onyx, Café Chianti, The Armview, Moda, Fireside… to name but a few). Click here to buy your copy online!
Living a heart-healthy lifestyle is as easy as Eating Your Heart Out!
