St. Paul's Hospital Foundation

Imagine a world where open-heart surgery is history.

Thanks to the world-renowned work of St. Paul’s Hospital heart and lung specialists like Dr. John Webb, the future is closer than you think.

An interventional cardiologist, Dr. Webb and his St. Paul’s colleagues have pioneered ways to treat life-threatening cardiovascular diseases like faulty heart valves without invasive surgery. Instead, they correct serious heart problems by threading a thin tube up to the heart through an artery in the leg. This is the only option for heart patients who are too ill for open-heart surgery.

Dr. Webb now criss-crosses the globe teaching this technique at other hospitals. He has also established St. Paul’s Hospital as a prestigious training centre that attracts aspiring cardiologists from around the world eager to specialize in this area.

Please support the world-leading work of specialists like Dr. Webb at the Providence Heart + Lung Institute at St. Paul’s Hospital.
