We’re thrilled to share that the Globe and Mail has featured South Niagara Hospital, highlighting it as the first hospital in Canada designed to achieve WELL certification—a standard focused on occupant health and well-being.

The project reflects Parkin’s commitment to environments that promote healing, inclusivity, and long-term well-being.
