Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute

I haven’t needed to stay here at the Maz myself, but last month my grandfather had some health issues with his heart. While he was supposed to be here for just a test or two they kept him at the Maz for about a week, because there were some issues. I really liked that the Mazankowski specializes in heart issues, and that the doctors and nurses here weren’t just going to do some tests and let my grandfather go home without being certain he would be okay. I came here with my grandmother to visit my grandfather one evening and I was pleasantly surprised at the facilities. The hospital (institute) is clean and well taken care of. The nurses that came by to check on my grandpa and his charts were friendly and professional. The space here is very nice. I mean the hospital rooms are still hospital rooms (can’t get too fancy with that), but they have a healing garden on the main floor, which is really nice to go into and I’m sure patients appreciate getting a little greenness into their stay here. They also have free wifi here, which was great. There is a parkade and a pedway, which is probably the easiest way to get in. If you can walk a bit further the LRT (Health Sciences/​Jubilee station) is a few blocks away.
The Maz isn’t a place you want to go to, but if you or someone you know ends up here it’s a great health facility, and one I’m happy to see in Edmonton.

Great staffman.
The heart institute is stellar. The physicians in house are fantastic. Many of them are highly esteemed in the cardiac community. The Maz has put Edmonton on the map for specializing in heart health with innovative research and up to date practices.
The new building is modern and efficent. Lights that are motion sensored. And huge spacious rooms. There is a beautiful garden for patients to help with mental health as some patients awaiting heart transplants can be in hospital for months.
I am a health care proffesional and can safely say I loved working at the U of A for the great relationships between staff. Its a great place for learning too and I like how staff are always kept up to date on the most current standards for health care. If you ever have any heart problems. go here!
