Mission Statement


The Cardiac Wellness Institute of Calgary (CWIC) is committed to the promotion of a heart-healthy lifestyle to the people of the Calgary Health Region.   Participants and their families are given the knowledge and skills to take responsibility for their heart health, and to achieve a sense of accomplishment and lasting well-being.

A dynamic multidisciplinary team of professionals provides education, counseling and intervention to achieve individualized risk factor modification.

Through research and innovative treatment strategies, we strive to be leaders in the promotion of cardiac wellness.

Program Information

The Cardiac Wellness Institute of Calgary (CWIC) is dedicated to providing high quality, comprehensive services in heart disease prevention, cardiac wellness, and cardiac rehabilitation.

Our programs are created specifically to cater to individual needs and our services may be accessed through self referral and/or through a referral from your family physician or cardiologist.

Cardiac Wellness Institute programs will enable you to identify your risk factors, practice positive and effective lifestyle habits, and promote well-being even when you already have heart disease.

We will assess individuals or groups who are at risk for the development of heart disease or are concerned that they may be at risk. We are also able to provide ongoing support and education for patients and their families who are already affected by heart disease.
