This year, our community came together in an extraordinary way, raising $123,332 through the Tim Hortons Smile Cookie campaign in support of surgical excellence at the Saint John Regional Hospital.
These funds will help bring one of the first spinal surgery robots in Atlantic Canada to Saint John, advancing precision, enhancing patient safety, and helping deliver better outcomes for patients across New Brunswick.
This achievement would not have been possible without the incredible leadership of local Tim Hortons restaurant owners and our Working Wonders Campaign Co-Chair Barb Murphy.
As a spine surgery patient herself, Barb knows firsthand how important it is to have access to advanced surgical care close to home. Her experience fuels her commitment to ensuring others benefit from the very best technology and expertise available right here in New Brunswick.
Today, the impact of this campaign goes far beyond cookies. It represents hope for future patients, support for our surgical teams, and a shared commitment to bringing world-class care closer to home.
To Barb, D’Arcy, and Daniel Murphy, their Tim Hortons teams, every volunteer, and every person who purchased a Smile Cookie, thank you. Because of you, we’re taking another important step toward transforming spinal surgery in our region and building a stronger future for patient care.
Together, we are helping make surgical excellence possible.
