Our Vision
Healthy lungs for everyone.
Our Mission
Saving lungs to save lives.
We lead in respiratory health — connecting, advocating, and engaging community members to support better lung health for all.
"We don't measure ourselves by mission statements. We measure ourselves by the Alberta family who picked up the phone today — and what happens next for them."
Our values
Four values that guide every decision.
From a single phone call on a Tuesday afternoon to province-wide advocacy — these are the principles that shape how we show up.
Responsiveness
We are responsive and quickly adapt to internal and external influences — meeting the needs of the moment, not the needs of a year ago.
Integrity, transparency & fiscal responsibility
We value integrity in our work, transparency with our donors and members, and stewardship of every dollar entrusted to us.
Compassion, respect & dignity
We treat every relationship — with patients, families, donors, members, and each other — with compassion, respect, and dignity.
Equity, diversity & inclusion
We strive for equity, diversity, and inclusion — in who we serve, who we hire, and how we shape the future of lung health in Alberta.
Our purpose only matters
if it shows up where it counts.
Help us keep showing up — for the next Albertan, the next family, the next breath.
