Building a network of world-class pediatric cardiac care for the children of Western Canada.

*This site is best viewed with Internet Explorer.*

The Western Canadian Children's Heart Network (WCCHN) is a network of pediatric cardiac care providers from the four western provinces - British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba.  We are committed to delivering world-class pediatric cardiac care.

The Network's goals are to share clinical knowledge and expertise to improve care for children with heart disease, and to provide support for these children and their families.  We also advocate for high quality pediatric cardiac care throughout the four western provinces.

Pediatric cardiac surgery is performed at two of our network's five centres - Stollery Children's Hospital in Edmonton and BC Children's Hospital in Vancouver.  Concentrating surgical expertise enables us to achieve the best results for our patients.

The WCCHN is able to provide patients and their families with additional information and resources about children's heart disease.

The WCCHN links expertise between five pediatric cardiac care centres:
     - BC Children's Hospital (Vancouver),
     - Stollery Children's Hospital (Edmonton),
     - Alberta Children's Hospital (Calgary),
     - Royal University Hospital (Saskatoon), and
     - Winnipeg Children's Hospital.
