Kara Gettings had the winning ticket for the February Loyalty draw of the WinWin Staff Lottery and won $55,000 cash.  Congratulations Kara! She found out the good news while away for the weekend skiing in Jasper.  Kara previously won $500 about 10 years ago.  She told us that she has played the WinWin Staff Lottery for her entire twenty-year career with Alberta Health Services.   Kara is pictured here with her family; husband Rob, daughter Sophia and son Lincoln.  She was presented the cheque by Strathcona Community Hospital Foundation Chair, Ken Lesniak and Treasurer, Arlene Mazoleski.  Kara plans to put some of her winnings toward a family vacation in Las Vegas!

Kara is a long-time resident of Sherwood Park and designated the Strathcona Community Hospital as her partner in the lottery.  The Strathcona Hospital Foundation receives approximately .5% share of the proceeds raised which equates to about $56,000 since the Foundation joined.  A special thank you to all the AHS staff who chose our hospital as their lottery partner.  The proceeds are used to purchase much needed medical equipment for our hospital. 

Learn more about what the new hospital means to the community and how the funds raised through the Foundation provide needed equipment, programs and training to elevate care to a higher level for all Strathcona County and area residents.
