A fall. An accident. A sudden illness.

A fall. An accident. A sudden illness.

A moment when everything changes.

Dear Neighbour,

You won’t get a warning. It won’t wait for the right time. You won’t have the chance to prepare.

Mabel, a young patient cared for at the Sturgeon Hospital

Mabel was just four years old when she fell from a hay loft, shattering her hip and breaking her femur. Her mother rushed her to the Sturgeon Hospital, where a team was already waiting. Within moments, Mabel was surrounded by skilled hands and compassionate care, ready to help her heal.

Todd being applauded by hospital staff as he walks the hallway during his recovery

Todd didn’t know that a simple evening would end in a fight for his life. After falling into a stormwater pond, his heart stopped. When he arrived at the Sturgeon, he was placed on full life support. His chances of survival were low, but the team never gave up. For weeks, they stood by him, providing the advanced care that would ultimately save his life.

Vic, a patient cared for at the Sturgeon Hospital

Vic’s journey was longer, but no less critical. After becoming seriously ill, he spent months searching for answers. When his condition turned life-threatening, he needed emergency surgery. Through every test, every setback, and every unknown, the Sturgeon team remained committed, until he was finally well enough to go home.

Three different lives. Three different moments. One thing in common: When everything was on the line, care was already here.

The worst moments in life happen suddenly.

And in the next moment, you will need care immediately.

Not somewhere else. Not after a delay. Right here, in our community.

That kind of readiness doesn’t happen by chance. It requires advanced equipment. It requires skilled teams. It requires a community that believes this level of care should exist close to home.

That’s where you come in.

Your support helps ensure that when the unexpected happens, whether it’s sudden, silent, or slow to unfold, the Sturgeon Hospital is ready.

Ready with the tools. Ready with the expertise. Ready for the moment someone’s life depends on it.

Will you make your first gift today?

Or, if you’re able, consider becoming a monthly donor, providing steady, reliable support so care is always ready, not just today, but for every moment still to come. Call the office at 780-418-7361 to set up monthly giving.

Because one day, for you or someone you love, that moment will come.

And when it does, READY IS EVERYTHING.

Sincerely,

Signature of Katrina Black
