Happy Valentine's Day!

Lillian Skuce of Barry’s Bay is sure feeling the love - but she never expected to win when she picked up her Week 21 Catch the Ace. She simply wanted an easy way to give back to local healthcare.

When her phone rang, she didn’t recognize the number and ignored it - at first. But when it rang again, she decided to answer - and was glad she did!

Earlier in the week, Lillian had bought her ticket at Lorraine’s Pharmacy and picked number 50 because it jumped out at her. That envelope revealed the seven of diamonds, earning her the weekly prize of $1,518.

She plans to save the winnings for an upcoming home repair.

Lillian also has a personal connection to St. Francis Memorial Hospital, where she spent 30 years working as an RPN. She has been retired for around 10 years.

Catch the Ace is a fundraising initiative of the St. Francis Valley Healthcare Foundation. Net proceeds provide local healthcare partners with essential medical equipment and services, helping ensure care stays close to home when it’s needed most.

Be sure to get your ticket for the Week 22 draw, where the estimated prize is $1,600, and the progressive jackpot is sitting around $38,793. Find the Ace of Spades and win both - for a total prize of around $40,393.

Get your tickets online at www.sfvhfcatchtheace.com or at
any of the following locations: Whitney Pharmacy, Round Lake Centre Food
Market, Round Lake Country Store, Killaloe Village Pharmacy, Killaloe Hardware,
Foundation Office, Barry’s Bay Ultramar, Lorraine’s Pharmasave, Barry’s Bay
Shell, CO Country Market, Eganville Shell, Conway’s Pharmacy, and Eganville
Country Depot.

You win. Local healthcare wins.

For Jo Anne Truskoski and her family, local healthcare has been more than a service - it’s been a story of love, care, and community, woven into every stage of their lives.

It started in 1962, when Jo Anne was born at St. Francis Memorial Hospital to parents Jack “John” and Ursula Golka.

Congratulations to Lindsay Greene, an RN at St. Francis Memorial Hospital, who was nominated for her very first Guardian Angel pin.

Lindsay was nominated by Mara Lauris, a grateful patient who spent some time in the hospital’s emergency department before Christmas.

“Having been in the ER for a few days, I could observe your interactions with other patients and colleagues and think you are an exemplary nurse,” Mara said.

The Guardian Angel program allows you the opportunity to show your appreciation for exceptional and compassionate care in a meaningful way that helps us change and save lives by ensuring our caregivers have the equipment and facilities they need to provide you with the best possible care.
