It was 7:11 a.m. on Labour Day Sunday, when STARS crew members touched down at James Smith Cree Nation, unsure of what to expect. “We went into this feeling this is our community too, and we weren’t going to let them down.” - Dr. Dallas Pearson, STARS.

STARS is thrilled to announce that Chris Fay & Kevin Easton have won the 2022 Air Medical Transport Simulator Competition in Tampa, Florida!
They navigated a complex case with a total of 5 patients who pushed the duo to their absolute limit.
Congratulations Chris and Kevin! 👏
@vanessakmathews I’ve always wondered why there are no safe pedestrian options to the airport. The airport area has a path but the @CityofRegina has no pedestrian crossing on Lewvan connecting to it. Also, no transit route. I guess people only take cars to the airport. @FlyYQR
Please join us in congratulating Kevin Easton & Chris Fay for winning the 2022 ALL-STARS Sim Competition.
Kevin & Chris will be representing STARS at the Association of Air and Medical Services in October in Tampa, Florida, and will be competing against international teams.
The addition of portable ultrasound technology on board the STARS helicopter was a gamechanger for patient treatment. STARS Manitoba transport physician Dr. Tom Jelic explains why. #WeAreAllSTARS
Anyone else feel like they followed all the rules and did everything asked of them, just for the anti-vax crowd to stomp their feet and get their way anyway?? #skpoli#COVID
Shared by ER colleague today.
Very angry #COVID19 patient offered monoclonal therapy:
"I want that new pill, Paxlovid! Not that IV s***!"
"Sorry, that pill isn't available yet. Are you vaccinated, Sir?"
"Ha, I wouldn't EVER put that Pfizer GARBAGE in MY body."
No words. 🤦♂️🤦♀️
A new helipad has been unveiled at the All Nations Healing Hospital in Fort Qu’Appelle to serve patients in the town and surrounding communities. https://t.co/cMLnpamPBi
Good news via Minister Anand.
Canada will receive ~3 million doses of Pfizer's pediatric vaccine shortly after Health Canada approval for kids b/w ages 5-11.
This ensures every child eligible has access quickly. Logistics and messaging will be critical to optimize uptake.
Our first flight was in December 1985 with the support of the Lion's Club. Today, we've flown more than 45,000 missions from six bases throughout Western Canada. Your support doesn't just make STARS possible; it makes the care we provide exceptional. #WeAreAllSTARS
Saying vaccine passports are going to be in place until "at least" early 2022 is dumb.
To maximize vaccine uptake, there's only only option. Mandate vaccine passports INDEFINITELY, ESPECIALLY in Alberta & Saskatchewan.
If you agree, please RT.

Person in Regina hospital. Crying. Dying.
"I should have had my shots. My wife had hers. She kept telling me to get mine. I'm going to die, aren't I?"
He spoke w/ family one last time before going to ICU. He told them he was so sorry.
He died 3 days later, alone.
