Cystic Fibrosis is an invisible disease. We look normal, but behind closed doors, there are hours and hours of treatments and medication and days when it’s very hard to breathe.

With Alberta Lung’s assistance, we were able to receive a CPAP machine for our son, Connor’s, sleep apnea as well as grocery gift cards, which were a life-saver for our family.

Reach out to your doctor to create a personalized asthma action plan, make sure your child has access to their medication at all times, inform your child’s teachers and coaches about their asthma and know when to seek medical assistance.

Planning ahead can make a big difference in keeping your child safe, healthy, and ready for what lies ahead.

As we prepare for the upcoming flu season, we want to remind you about the importance of getting your annual flu shot. Those with existing lung conditions like asthma and COPD are particularly vulnerable. By getting immunized, you're not only protecting yourself from the flu, but also reducing the risk of complications that could impact your lung health.

Remember, each flu season brings new strains of the virus, so an annual flu shot is your best bet for staying healthy. Consult your healthcare provider to determine the best time for you to get immunized.
