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.
