“Healthy lungs and healthy lives for everyone, everywhere.”


Every moment, your lungs are at work — powering your breath, fueling your energy, and supporting your movement. Prioritizing lung health is key to living longer and enjoying a better quality of life.
• Say no to smoking and avoid being around second-hand smoke.
• Stay up to date on recommended vaccines such as the flu and pneumonia.
• Keep active — regular physical activity helps build lung strength.
• Shield yourself from air contaminants and workplace risks.
• Contact a healthcare provider if you have a persistent cough, wheezing, or find it hard to breathe.
Let’s join forces to create a future where everyone, everywhere can breathe easily and enjoy healthy lungs.

Drop by The Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy #383 to learn about lung health, prevention tips, and the services we offer to help you thrive.

It’s World Su***de Prevention Day. Let’s talk about it.

Talking about su***de can be scary, but if you’re worried about a loved one, it’s the most important thing you can do.

Approach your family member, friend, or coworker with compassion and care and listen to their story with empathy. You don’t need to have all the answers; you can ask if they’d like your help finding supports, or they may just need you to listen.

To learn more about how to talk to someone or recognize if someone is struggling, visit https://myhealth.alberta.ca/Alberta/Pages/Preventing-su***de-REACH.aspx

If you are struggling, help is available 24/7 through the Mental Health Help line at 1-877-303-2642 or 211. If you are in crisis, call 911 or visit the nearest emergency department.

Together, we can prevent su***de.
