STARS is celebrating 25 years of saving lives.

The air ambulance marked its silver anniversary today.

A number of officials took part in celebrations at STARS headquarters in the northeast.

Kelly Hulstein was also there.

She was the very first ever STARS patient.

She was born premature in 1985 and was rushed to a Calgary hospital from Lethbridge.

She tells CTV without stars she wouldn’t be alive.
