Over a single weekend in April 2024, The Smilezone team transformed Four new Smilezones at Humber River Hospital! The Smilezones were done in the 4th floor Pediatrics Outpatient Clinic. The Smilezones include fresh paint, colourful murals, sensory and interactive gaming elements, and custom cabinetry.
Smilezone Foundation has worked closely with Humber River Hospital and our generous donor Slaight Family Foundation, to bring this new project to life.
“Today, as we celebrate the opening of our new Smilezones, we reaffirm our commitment to providing a comforting, family-friendly environment,” shared Dr. Zaki Ahmed, Chief of staff at Humber River Health. “At Humber River Health, our goal has always been to ensure that our young patients and their families feel supported and at ease during their time with us, and I thank the Slaight Family Foundation and the Smilezone Foundation for their generous support.”
“The Humber River Health Foundation is unwaveringly committed to supporting this spirit of innovation and is grateful for partners like the Slaight Family Foundation and Smilezone who make this transformative work possible,” said Sandra Sualim, President and CEO of the Humber River Health Foundation. “Your collaboration has brought to life this beautiful space for our young patients and their families.”
