The Libin Cardiovascular Institute is an entity of Alberta Health Services and the University of Calgary. It connects all cardiovascular research, education and patient care in Southern Alberta, serving a population of about two million. Its more than 1,500 members include physicians, clinicians and other health professionals, researchers and trainees.
The Libin Cardiovascular Institute was made possible through the donation of founding donors Mona and Alvin Libin.
On March 6, 2003, the Alvin and Mona Libin Foundation presented $15 million to Alberta Health Services and the University of Calgary to form the Libin Cardiovascular Institute. It was then the largest one-time donation to the organizations. The institute was formally created on January 27, 2004.
The Foundation renewed their commitment to the Institute in May 2022 with a $7.5 million donation.
