February is Heart Month, and the Western Canadian Children’s Heart Network (WCCHN) is celebrating by hosting its annual BoostUp Pitch Competition which gives away $30,000 in available seed funding to pediatric heart projects.

The Western Canadian Children’s Heart Network (WCCHN) unites pediatric cardiac expertise across Western Canada so every child with heart disease can access world-class care, no matter where they live.
For more than 20 years, we have built a coordinated system that connects specialists, data, innovation, and families across provinces. Our mission is simple: deliver equitable, expert, and life-saving cardiac care for children and support the families who stand beside them.
