Let's hear from you!
Sik-E-Dakh Health Society is looking for testimonials from you, our clients. Share with us some feedback on how we're doing delivering health care in Glen Vowell.
Our Mission:
We collectively strive to empower our people to honour our health through active participation in our holistic programs and community-rooted services. Through a collaborative approach, we are dedicated to preserving our culture and enriching the lives of those we serve.
March Health Theme:
March is Kidney Health Month. One of the most important ways to preserve your kidney function is to gain control over other medical conditions you may have. Blood pressure control is one of the most effective ways of slowing the progression of kidney disease. High blood pressure can cause the filters in your kidneys to become scarred and lead to a decrease in kidney function. It is important to control your blood sugar if you have diabetes. High blood sugar clogs all blood vessels including the filters of the kidney, which causes decreased kidney function.
