Heart Niagara was founded by Dr. Stafford W Dobbin (1942-2020) in 1977. Dr. Dobbin was an emergency physician who graduated from Queens University Belfast in 1967. While working as a Niagara Falls physician, Dr. Dobbin decided to found Heart Niagara to address the lack of heart health education services available within the region. He strongly believed that the best way to prevent heart disease/heart-disease casualties was through preventative measures such as community education.
Through the work we do at Heart Niagara, we strive to honor Dr. Dobbin and his dreams of creating a healthier and safer community everyday.
