What is the Hospital Support Program?
SMILE’s Hospital Support Program provides support to families who have children in long-term stays or have recurring visits for treatments. Our aim is to provide social, emotional, and financial support in a culturally responsive and tailored way to the needs of our families.

Each child/youth will receive care packages containing comfort items and/or therapeutic activities catered to their specific needs and interests.
Food and Parking Reimbursements
Meal and parking reimbursements will be provided to families to ensure their hospital stays are as comfortable as possible.
Parent Support Groups
Registered families will have access to all SMILE parent support groups that they feel may benefit their family.
