Tim Hortons Smile Cookie Campaign Update! 🍪
The Smile Cookie campaign is in full swing, and we want to send a huge thank you to all our amazing volunteers who came out to decorate cookies—including some wonderful senior volunteers from the Espanola Nursing Home!

We also appreciate everyone who braved the calories and purchased cookies in support of our Simulation Mannequin Campaign. Your generosity helps us bring better training tools to our healthcare team and improve patient care.

Together, we’re making a difference—one smile (and one cookie) at a time! 💙

On November 13, 2025, we attended the 2025 Northern Ontario Community Concierge & Connection Event hosted by NOSM University. This event was all about connection, partnership, and building a strong healthcare future for our region. We are grateful for the opportunity to connect with recruiters and partners from across Northern Ontario to share best practices, build relationships, and inspire collaboration.
A highlight of the event was meeting the amazing residents and medical students from NOSM U, who spoke with us about their goals and aspirations to create a sustainable healthcare system in our Northern communities. A huge thank you to NOSM University, Ontario Health, and all the amazing people who made this day possible.

The future of healthcare looks bright!

🎉 Fun & Fitness at Espanola Nursing Home! 🎉
Our residents had a blast playing a new game called “Granny Pants” 👵👖! The challenge? Tossing balls into a pair of giant pants! Lots of laughter, friendly competition, and smiles all around. 💕

✅ Improves hand-eye coordination and motor skills
✅ Boosts physical activity for better strength and flexibility
✅ Stimulates the brain, supporting memory and focus
✅ Encourages social interaction, reducing feelings of isolation
✅ Lifts mood and reduces stress, promoting emotional well-being
We love creating moments that bring joy and wellness to our home! 🥰

On November 11, we pause to honour and remember the brave individuals who served and sacrificed for our freedom. At Espanola Regional Hospital and Health Centre, we stand in solemn reflection and gratitude for the courage of Canadian veterans and active service members. Their legacy lives on in our hearts and in the peace we cherish today. We invite our community to join us in observing two minutes of silence at 11 a.m. and wearing a red poppy as a symbol of remembrance. Lest we forget.

Celebrating Nurse Practitioners in Canadian Healthcare

Nurse Practitioners are highly trained professionals who provide expert care in both primary and specialty settings. They diagnose, treat, and often lead care teams.
