In June 2025, we will installed Two Smilezones at Brandon Clinic in Brandon, MB!
Thank you to our generous donor, local Tim Hortons owners the Pardy and Crisanti families for making this project possible!
Located in the main lobby and pediatric concourse, the new Smilezones feature vibrant murals, calming colours, upgraded seating, and interactive technology all designed to enhance comfort and provide a more engaging experience for patients and their loved ones. The artwork and themes throughout the spaces reflect nature, local landmarks, and playful Tim Hortons elements, creating a warm, community-rooted atmosphere that supports connection and care.
“The Smile Cookie campaign is so much more than a cookie, it’s a symbol of caring and community,” said Rhonda Pardy, Smilezone Foundation Board Member and Tim Hortons Brandon owner. “We are incredibly proud to support the creation of these Smilezones and grateful to the entire community for making this possible.”
“We saw an immediate shift in people’s demeanour from the moment the project was completed. Healthcare is a challenging industry at the best of times but the last several years has really taken a toll on everyone. The Smilezone project shows that people care and we can’t thank the Pardy and Cristanti families enough for everything they did to make this happen.” Darcy Bell, CEO
ABOUT BRANDON CLINIC:
In 2019 the Provincial Government announced the hospital expansion and we wanted to make sure that the Brandon Clinic’s growth kept pace with the public needs. Since the end of the pandemic we have added 12 new Physicians and have completed extensive renovations and investments in technology to help serve the growing population.
As the second largest city in Manitoba and the main referral site for southwestern Manitoba we intend to add several more Physicians over the next 18 months. The generous donation made by the Smilezone Foundation has completely transformed the patient experience in these areas.
