Every breath matters, and so do the people who help make breathing easier.

Respiratory therapists play an important role in caring for people living with lung and breathing conditions. Their knowledge, compassion and dedication can make a meaningful difference during some of life’s most difficult moments.

This Respiratory Therapy Week, Alberta Lung is proud to recognize the respiratory therapists who show up for their patients every day.

Thank you for all that you do to help Albertans breathe easier.

When a child is diagnosed with something that requires a tracheostomy, everything can feel unfamiliar all at once, the medical terms, the equipment, the day-to-day of it. DECIDE-T exists to make that a little less overwhelming.

The program creates clear, trustworthy resources for families of children with a tracheostomy, shaped directly by patient and family advocates, people who've lived this themselves and know exactly what's missing when you're first handed a diagnosis. In this conversation, they talk about why that lived experience matters so much in building these resources, and how something as simple as a well-organized website can be a genuine source of comfort when a family is navigating untested waters.

Because no family should have to figure this out on their own. Programs like DECIDE-T exist because Alberta Lung funds the research and resources behind them, and that only happens because donors choose to make it possible.

Happy Thanksgiving, Alberta! 🍂 As families gather around the table this weekend, it's also RSV Awareness Week.

RSV is a common virus that usually feels like a cold, but it can be serious for our littlest ones and for older adults. 👶👵

The good news? There are ways to protect both. Talk to your healthcare provider or pharmacist about RSV protection for your family, and swipe through to learn more. ➡️💙

Happy Thanksgiving from Alberta Lung.

This weekend, we’re taking a moment to appreciate the people who make life a little brighter, the moments that bring us together, and the communities that continue to support one another.

We’re grateful for everyone who helps us create a healthier future for Albertans, and for the opportunity to keep doing work that makes a difference.

Wishing you and your loved ones a safe, happy, and restful Thanksgiving.

Mental health deserves care, compassion, and conversation.

Living with a lung or breathing condition can affect so much more than your physical health. It can bring stress, uncertainty, frustration, or moments when simply getting through the day feels harder than it should.

At Alberta Lung, we believe caring for your health means caring for the whole person. That means making space for honest conversations, reaching out when you need support, and reminding the people around us that they don’t have to face difficult moments alone.

Take a moment to check in with yourself. And check in with someone you care about. A simple “How are you really doing?” can be the start of an important conversation.

This World Mental Health Day, let’s make space for both the breaths we take and the feelings we carry.

One in five Albertans lives with a lung or breathing condition. Statistically, that's someone in your life too, maybe even you.

So we want to know: what's one thing you wish more people understood about lung health? It doesn't have to be complicated, one word or one sentence is plenty.

Drop it in the comments below. The more we talk about this openly, the easier it gets for the next person to ask for help.

One in five Albertans lives with a lung or breathing condition. Behind every improvement in their care, there's a researcher who asked a hard question and stayed with it long enough to find an answer.

That's why supporting research pioneers is one of Alberta Lung's core commitments. Since 2022, our Lung Health Research Grants have backed eight projects at the University of Alberta and University of Calgary. That research is building better care for kids on long-term ventilation, closing gaps in COPD diagnosis, speeding up sleep apnea treatment, tracking how tuberculosis spreads, protecting critically ill patients from lung infections, improving life after lung transplant, and uncovering how the immune system shapes lung cancer. Each project was chosen through a peer-reviewed competition we run in partnership with the BC Lung Foundation.

Every grant awarded means another question closer to being answered, and another Albertan a little closer to breathing easier.

Reconciliation takes ongoing work. We're committed to listening, learning and acting, today and every day.
