A 30-Year-Old Mum. A Heart Attack. A Lifesaving Response.
Krissy Lee’s story is a powerful reminder of why accessible, expert cardiac care in regional areas is vital.
At just 30, this mother of two suffered a major heart attack.
Thanks to the swift action of the Queensland Ambulance Service and the cardiac team at St Andrew’s Toowoomba Hospital — the only heart attack emergency centre in the Toowoomba-Darling Downs region — Krissy survived.
Without this local facility, her only option would have been Brisbane — over 1.5 hours away. She likely wouldn’t have made it.
This story is more than a personal miracle — it’s a call to recognise and support the services that save lives every day in our region.
