Are you looking for a perfect holiday gift for your loved ones? Please consider giving the gift that protects - a radon test kit! Let us keep our homes and families safe by testing for radon to prevent lung cancer.

Our Community Engagement Manager, Dave Parkalub, shares his sleep apnea journey to raise awareness about the disease. Sleep apnea prevents people from having good quality, restful sleep and results in low oxygen levels needed to stay healthy. Please read on to learn more about the signs, symptoms, and treatments available for sleep apnea.

The holiday season is a wonderful time to get together and reflect. Our office has been bustling with the holiday festivities, and it has been wonderful to celebrate with each other in person while reflecting on our many achievements and milestones in 2022. Please take a moment to watch this holiday greeting message.

On behalf of our board and staff, we wish you happy holidays and a prosperous New Year.

Sincerely,

Erin Kuan

The Perfect Holiday Gift!

Give a radon test kit this holiday season and protect your family and friends!

Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer. You can't see or smell it, but radon is in all of our homes. The only way to know how much radon is in your home is to test.

Dave's Sleep Apnea Journey

"My life changed in one night. I woke up suddenly and I couldn’t breathe. It felt like I was going to die."

Sleep Apnea is a lung disease that affects 300,000 people in Saskatchewan alone. So many people don’t know they have it because they don’t realize they stop breathing throughout the night.

Knowing what I know about sleep apnea now, I realize I had so many indicators, but I didn’t know the signs and symptoms."

Many people don’t even realize it can be a serious disease that can result in high blood pressure, increased risk of heart attack or stroke, memory and concentration issues, and more."
