Elisabeth knows firsthand how much good sleep can change your life. In her words: “Good sleep makes a huge difference. Before treatment, I could sleep for 14 hours and still feel useless.”

After her sleep apnea diagnosis, she began treatment and now feels rested with just six to eight hours of sleep. Elisabeth shares her story to encourage others and raise awareness about sleep apnea.

😴 Sleep apnea can cause you to stop breathing hundreds of times a night, leaving you tired and unrested. Without treatment, your body misses out on the deep, restorative sleep it needs.📍Over 300,000 people in Saskatchewan likely have undiagnosed sleep apnea. If you or someone you know snores loudly or struggles with fatigue, talk to your doctor about your concerns.

Thank you, Elisabeth, for sharing your experience! Read the full story here: https://www.lungsask.ca/my-sleep-apnea-story

RSV is more than just a bad cold.

Every year thousands of Canadian infants, including healthy, full-term babies, are hospitalized due to RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus). This virus spreads easily and can lead to serious lung infections.

The good news? Immunization is now available to help protect your baby. Plan ahead and talk to your health care provider about the options available.

At Lung Saskatchewan, we work every day to improve lung health for all Saskatchewan residents through research, education, advocacy, and support. Empowering healthier living starts with knowledge, so as an educator we provide accessible, evidence-based resources to health care professionals, families, people with lived lung health experience, and communities across the province.

By dedicating funding to research, we are able to support world-class work happening right here in Saskatchewan. This research not only improves care today, but also strengthens the foundation for healthier futures. We know that prevention is powerful. That’s why we advocate for stronger policies that protect lung health and promote healthier futures when it comes to wildfire smoke, indoor air quality, to***co, va**ng, radon and infectious disease prevention.

Whether it’s connecting with our Certified Respiratory Educators on the toll-free Lung Helpline line, receiving a financial hand-up through the Caring Breaths Financial Assistance Program, or finding comfort through our Communities of Support, we are here to help people breathe easier.

This $10,000 grant would support us in continuing to make a difference in the lives of Saskatchewan residents every day. With this funding, we can continue to improve lung health through research, education, advocacy, and support that truly empowers healthy living across our province.

"Reinvesting settlement funds into to***co control initiatives is not just the right thing to do, it’s the smart thing to do." – Erin Kuan, President & CEO, Lung Saskatchewan

Saskatchewan is projected to receive approximately $700 million from the federal to***co settlement, a $32.5 billion agreement requiring major to***co companies to compensate for the health harms their products have caused. Lung Saskatchewan is calling on the government to reinvest a portion of these funds into to***co control initiatives: prevention, protection, and cessation.
