Medical Provider Resource Page
The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) is here to work with medical providers who wish to educate their patients on the risks of radon related lung cancer. Many hospitals and clinics throughout the state have already begun educating patients on radon. MDH has developed resources to help make this process easy and effective.
Radon gas exposure in homes is a personal health issue that puts many Minnesotans at risk for serious illness or death. Medical providers are in a unique position to provide important information to their patients about the health risks of radon gas.
