Turtleford receives new landing pad for STARS
The Turtleford community now has better access to emergency healthcare services now that work on the new landing pad for the Shock, Trauma, Air Rescue Service (STARS) air ambulance is complete.
STARS air ambulance uses the landing pad located next to the Riverside Health Complex to transport patients needing critical care to larger hospitals that provide specialized services.
The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) officially launched the new landing pad at the Helipad Site at First St. S. in Turtleford during a formal ceremony Friday.
