Heart-shaped pizzas are back at Antonino’s Original Pizza to support the Cardiac Program at WRH

February is Heart Month and once again, Antonino’s Original Pizza is asking residents to show a little love and purchase a delicious heart-shaped pizza to support the Cardiac Program at Windsor Regional Hospital.

For the entire month of February, one-dollar from the sale of any heart-shaped pizza and menu items will assist cardiac patients in Windsor-Essex. The fundraiser applies to everything heart shaped, from any small, medium or large pizza to cinnamon sticks.

“We love taking part in this initiative every year. We really look forward to supporting such a worthy cause and helping people in Windsor-Essex with heart disease. In order to do that, we need the right programs and equipment in place.

In addition, paper hearts are being sold to decorate their storefronts in South Windsor, Tecumseh and LaSalle and as witnessed in previous years, by the end of the month the windows are covered in red hearts.

“It’s an incredible sight to see as those hearts are added to our storefronts. It proves just how much this community cares,” said Ciaravino. “Let’s paint those storefronts red in February!”

The Cardiac Program at Windsor Regional Hospital performs Catherizations, Angiograms, Angioplasties and STEMIs (emergency procedures that need to be performed within 90 minutes).

From April 2019 to November 2021:

  • 6,659 Catherizations were performed
  • 4,345 Angiograms were performed
  • 2,314 Angioplasties were performed

“Those numbers represent patients and it reflects all of the vital life-saving procedures performed in our Cardiac Program,” said Windsor Regional Hospital President David Musyj. “These procedures save lives and we value and appreciate corporate citizens in our community who step up and come up with unique ways to support our programs.”

The heart shaped pizza and menu items in support of our cardiac program are available from February 1st to February 28th, 2022.
