Congratulations to the Recipients of the 2024 CCS Recognition Awards!

Each year, the CCS recognizes the outstanding achievements of individual Canadians and Canadian organizations for their contributions to cardiovascular health and care. CCS Recognition Awards are granted for excellence in research, teaching, exemplary care, prevention of cardiovascular diseases, and overall career contribution. All awardees are nominated by peers, and all nominations are heartily celebrated.

We invite you to congratulate your friends and colleagues and join us in recognizing all recipients at a ceremony on Thursday, October 24, from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. PT in Vancouver, BC, during the Canadian Cardiovascular Congress.
