A Heart for Saskatchewan: Cardiology Upgrade Complete
You did it, and Saskatchewan patients are better for it.
Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of our donors, RUH Foundation has invested $5.5 million into the newly renovated Walter and Margaret McNabb Interventional Cardiology Suite at Royal University Hospital, a state-of-the-art space where specialists diagnose and treat life-threatening heart conditions.
The renovations, completed at the end of 2025, modernize both the cardiac catheterization and electrophysiology labs, replacing aging infrastructure with advanced technology designed to improve patient outcomes. Before the upgrades, the team was already doing incredible work, but the space wasn’t keeping pace with the complexity and innovation of the
procedures being performed. That’s where donor support changed everything.
Today, RUH has the ability to offer every level of cardiac care available anywhere in the world, right here in Saskatchewan — thanks to donor support. From diagnostics and blations to pacemaker implantations, the upgraded labs have expanded what’s possible, keeping more patients close to home and closer to the people they love.
With up to 20 procedures performed per day and more than 4,000 procedures performed each year, the impact of your generosity is felt every single day.
“To our donors, thank you. Your generosity didn’t just upgrade a space, it enhanced cardiac care for all the patients and clinicians in the province,” says Dr. Jason Orvold, Cardiologist and Division Head of Cardiology.
Because of you, this space was reimagined around the people inside it — both the patients and the care teams. And with your continued support, we can keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible for Saskatchewan patients.
