On the weekend, our club had the incredible honour of visiting STARS Ambulance in Calgary. We toured a state of the art air ambulance, checked out the Emergency Link Centre where every STARS mission begins, and witnessed firsthand the incredible coordination that goes into saving a life.
During our tour, the crew was called out on a mission. With professionalism and precision they were lifting off in an unbelievably short amount of time because somewhere, someone was fighting for their life and this incredible organization was there to help.
STARS is one of our annual donation recipients and this year we were able to add a small additional donation from our District 4 KINvention Sticker Sale. On average, it costs $12,000,000 per year in operational costs per base and Alberta is fortunate enough to have three. While we always hope we never need their services, we are incredibly fortunate to have them. If you’re able, please consider supporting STARS. www.stars.ca
Thank you to all the staff and crew who took time Saturday to host us, it was amazing experience we would highly recommend to anyone who has the opportunity. Also, if someone you love has used their services, when they are ready, STARS would love to reconnect with them as a VIP (Very Important Patient) and extend the opportunity to meet their flight crew❤️🚁
