What if your healthcare was powered by neighbours, volunteers, and a whole lot of heart?
In this episode of the Okotoks Podcast, Carlin Lutzer sits down with Andrea Mitchell, the passionate Executive Director of the Sheep River Health Trust, to explore how this remarkable nonprofit keeps care local and community-focused.
From equipping urgent care and supporting Rising Sun Long-Term Care, to beloved fundraisers like the Radiothon and Photos with Santa, Andrea shares inspiring stories of connection, compassion, and impact.
They discuss how healthcare extends beyond clinics — into programs for seniors, children, and even grief support groups. Plus, Andrea emphasizes the crucial role of volunteers and local businesses that make these initiatives thrive.
