Ajay Dilawri says the foundation made the donation after Dr. Wood and his team were the only ones who didn’t propose 'invasive' open-heart surgery for his father.

The president of the Vancouver General Hospital’s foundation has announced a $60-million donation that will go toward creating a world-leading cardiovascular institute.
Angela Chapman of the VGH and UBC Hospital Foundation says the donation from the Dilawri Foundation is the largest in the hospital foundation’s history.
Chapman says the land for the Dilawri Cardiovascular Institute on West 12th Avenue in Vancouver is currently being rezoned, with construction hoped to begin in 2027.
