The Greenbrook Story: 30 Years of Community Care in Kitchener

In 1995, two pharmacy students at Northeastern University in Boston had a vision that would change healthcare in Kitchener forever. Jay Thind and Raj Saini, roommates turned business partners, dreamed of creating more than just another pharmacy—they wanted to build a true wellness hub for the community.

After exploring options throughout southwestern Ontario, they chose Kitchener as their home. Their goal was simple yet profound: create a pharmacy that goes beyond prescriptions to serve the broader wellness needs of the community.

From Vision to Reality

What started as a traditional pharmacy has grown into something extraordinary. Over the past 30 years, Greenbrook Pharmacy has become a cornerstone of the Kitchener community, known for:

• Personalized Healthcare: Every patient is treated as an individual, not just a prescription number
• Expanded Wellness Services: Including a comprehensive gluten-free foods section and expert-curated supplement division
• Community Support: Standing strong during public health crises like H1N1 and COVID-19
• Educational Focus: Regular workshops and consultations to empower patients in their health journey

More Than Just a Pharmacy

Throughout its history, Greenbrook has adapted to meet the evolving needs of its patients without ever losing sight of its foundational values: service, trust, and education.

During challenging times like the H1N1 pandemic and COVID-19, Greenbrook became a crucial healthcare access point. The team worked tirelessly to ensure medication availability, provide accurate health information, and support vulnerable community members when they needed it most.
