One local resident and one hospital
employee won flights on Lifeguard Alaska’s helicopter after entering
at Central Peninsula Hospital’s Open House event January 3rd.
Two drawings were held, one for the public and one for employees.
Dennis Swarner was the winner of the public drawing, while Shawnee
Wisnewski, RN won the employee drawing. Each winner, along with one
guest, will enjoy a 15 minute helicopter ride over the Soldotna
area. The specific area will be up to the winner as long as the
flight can be completed in 15 minutes. The ride will be rescheduled
if the helicopter and crew are needed for an emergency medevac.
Each winner will also learn about the specific response capabilities
of the CPH Lifeguard Alaska program.
“This is a great opportunity to see the town from the air,” says
Teresa Ferguson, Critical Care Director. “Most people who ride in
the helicopter are not in a position to enjoy it that much, so this
is a chance to get an “up-close” look at what we have to offer in
emergency response here at the hospital, and enjoy the beautiful
Alaskan scenery.”
