The funds raised will be invested in acquiring essential medical equipment that will help improve patient care. A treatment table for ambulatory care is among the acquisitions planned thanks to the Tim Hortons’ Smile Cookie campaign.

The additional funds will enable the purchase of other essential medical devices, including an automatic BiPAP device for respiratory therapy, two E-Z Turn discs for transfers, and five Umano beds for the medical unit. These acquisitions will make a transition to more advanced care that is tailored to individual patient needs possible.

“The generosity of our community is truly inspiring. Every contribution, large or small, makes a tangible difference to the lives of our patients. Thank you for contributing to the health and well-being of our community,” said André Morais, Campaign Chair.
