A big shout-out to Téa and Blake, fourth-year nursing students from the USask College of Nursing, who completed their community placement with us.

During their time with us, Téa and Blake focused on pulmonary fibrosis and interstitial lung disease, updating resources and learning directly from the experiences of those living with these conditions. They also hosted a special support meeting on wildfire smoke and set up at a health fair organized by the Open Door Society.

We’re so glad to have had them as part of our team, and we wish them all the best in the next chapter of their nursing journey!

🌍 World TB Day: Myths vs. Facts
How much do you really know about tuberculosis (TB)? Misconceptions about TB are still common, and they can prevent people from understanding how this disease affects lives today.

Swipe through to see some of the most common TB myths and the facts behind them.

One of the voices helping raise awareness is Tina Campbell, who was diagnosed with TB during a routine screening while she was a nursing student. Today, she helps educate others and works to break the stigma around the disease.

A Second Breath, A Stronger Voice. A Singer's Lung Transplant Story. 💚

As we head into National Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Month, Let’s Talk Lungs podcast host Nurse Jill will sit down with Darcy Murdoch, a professional singer originally from Saskatoon, who shares his powerful journey from losing his breath to finding his voice again.

After being diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and receiving a life-saving double lung transplant in January 2015, Darcy returned to the stage with renewed purpose. Today, he uses both his voice and his story to advocate for lung health and organ donation.

THANK YOU to everyone who's shared my recent video about radon. 🙏 I know my furnace room is an unglamorous setting & the lighting is terrible, but sometimes a call to action isn't pretty. And the danger of radon in Saskatchewan homes is... not pretty ☢️⚠️😬

A few more things to add:

1️⃣ Both digital and 3 month tests are effective but the 3 month is less expensive & gives a better picture as radon levels can fluctuate over time. You can buy either via the Lung Sask Home Radon site & use MAYGEN5 to save $5. I don't get a kickback, I think they're just interested to know how effective my reach is.

2️⃣ Radon tests are also available to BORROW via Saskatoon Public Library October-March (there's currently a waitlist). The Library of Things also has 1 still available to borrow as of yesterday.

3️⃣ Your neighbor's house could be low in radon but that doesn't mean yours is, too. The ONLY way to know your radon level is to test, no matter if it's a new build or old. Radon is invisible, odorless, and a silent killer... second only to smoking in the causation of lung cancer.

If you haven't yet planned to test, do. It'll give you peace of mind or yet another call to action. 🙃Have a great weekend, all! My weekend guide post is pinned to the Sneakers & Lipstick page.
