Radius Health Edmonton's only non-profit, community-owned and operated health centre since 1980. We deliver high-quality care to vulnerable Edmontonians.

Radius is Edmonton's only non-profit, community-owned and operated health centre. In 1980, we began with an initiative to provide care to vulnerable populations in some underserved communities in Edmonton. Now, we are a multi-dimensional service with an impact that radiates throughout downtown Edmonton and beyond. We treat all visitors with warmth and respect and turn nobody away. Through our team's passion, we deliver more care per square foot than any other organization in Alberta.

People should not need professional-level knowledge of a complex system to receive care.

They should not have to know which door opens, when it opens, or which version of their story qualifies them to walk through it.
They should not have to repeat their trauma to one stranger after another.
They should not have to surrender their privacy.
They should not have to perform progress.

A system of care should feel like care.

It should protect dignity.
Respect agency.
Respond to immediate realities.
Allow people to leave and return.
And recognize that survival provides context for what we see—not evidence that someone is unwilling or undeserving.

The people who come to Kindred House have already carried more than enough.
They should not be expected to carry the system, too.

At Kindred House, progress is not measured by uninterrupted attendance or a perfectly followed plan. Sometimes progress is remembering that there is a place where you will be treated with kindness.

A person may come once and disappear for weeks.
They may accept one kind of support and decline another.
They may begin to trust and then become frightened by what trust requires.
They may miss an appointment.
They may come back.

And coming back matters.

No lecture.
No demand for an explanation.
No judgment.
Just another opportunity to reconnect.

Sometimes the most important thing a service can communicate is this:
The door is still open.

Pain does not erase a person’s capacity for love, generosity, or care.

People often expect trauma to harden a person, but Shawna sees something else at Kindred House. She sees people who have endured extraordinary pain still check on one another. Still share what little they have. Still make each other laugh Still offer tenderness. Still love.

Survival may change how kindness is expressed. It may protect itself behind distance, anger, silence, or humor. But it is still there.

When people are treated with kindness, care respect and compassion they are given room to offer those things in return

On National Day for Truth and Reconciliation we celebrate the beauty, strength and diversity of First Nations, Métis and Inuit cultures, and honor the knowledge and traditions carried across generations.

At Radius Community Health and Healing, our work is strengthened by Indigenous perspectives on health and wellbeing, including the connections between physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health, and the importance of family, community, culture and belonging.

These teachings inspire us to build trusting relationships, respect each person’s experiences and choices, and recognize the many connections that support healing. We welcome and respect people’s desire to embrace their cultures and include cultural connections in their care.

We are grateful to the Elders, Knowledge Keepers, Indigenous colleagues, clients and community partners who share their knowledge and help us learn. Their guidance deepens our understanding of what respectful, compassionate care can look like.

Today and every day, we honor Indigenous peoples and their right to healthcare that respects their identities, cultures and ways of knowing.

It is with profound sadness that we remember Sean “Pharush” Arceta.

Sean was a registered social worker, artist, advocate and community builder whose commitment to young people extended far beyond any single role.

Through his many years at iHuman Youth Society, he helped youth navigate complex systems, strengthened connections to care and used creativity to build trust, belonging and opportunities for young people to express themselves.
Sean was also a valued partner and colleague to the Radius team. He brought insight, compassion, humor and a deep understanding of the communities we collectively serve. His advocacy helped strengthen the relationship between our organizations and supported our shared commitment to providing care that respects each person’s dignity, voice and agency.

We are grateful for the many ways Sean showed up for young people, community members, for his colleagues, for Edmonton’s creative community and for everyone fortunate enough to work alongside him.

We extend our deepest condolences to Sean’s family, friends, the entire iHuman community and all those whose lives he touched.

His presence will be deeply missed, but the relationships he built, the art he shared and the people he championed will continue to carry his legacy forward.

CELEBRATION OF LIFE
Edmonton Crematorium and Funeral Home, 6403 Roper Road NW, Edmonton
Viewing will begin at 10 am with the Celebration of Life starting at 2 pm.
The service will also be live streamed. Link will be shared soon.
Sean was often in a Nike or Adidas track suit or a bomber jacket; attendees are encouraged to wear them in his honor and help the family celebrate Sean in true Sean style.

Care should not be conditional.

Kindred House begins with the person in front of us, not an imagined version of who they should become.

We recognize that change is rarely linear. That survival is complicated and that people have the right to make decisions about their own bodies and lives.

We also recognize something essential:

A person does not become worthy of care only after they stop taking risks.

At Kindred House, care means reducing preventable harm, preserving connection, and respecting each person’s agency.

The goal is not to control someone’s journey.

It is to ensure they do not have to travel entirely alone.

Some people arrive carrying more than we can see.

Trauma.
Loss.
Hunger.
Fear.
The exhaustion of having to remain alert.
The experience of being judged before being known.

At Kindred House, care does not begin by asking someone to prove they are ready to change. It begins with something simpler, and much more powerful:

Kindness.
Respect.
Choices.
Support without judgment.

Being treated respectfully cannot undo everything that has happened, but it can create moments of safety. A reason to return. A place where trust can begin.

Occasionally, taking a step back from our work can be the most effective method to enhance our efforts.
Last Wednesday, the Radius team gathered at Snow Valley for a day dedicated to connection, teamwork and celebrating the people who make this organization what it is.

Tricia Smith, our President & CEO, reminded us that the true strength of Radius lies not just in our achievements within our facility, but in the meaningful impact our team members create daily, as well as the trust, support and camaraderie that enable our success.

Drawing inspiration from Admiral William McRaven’s insight that no journey is made alone, Tricia emphasized the importance of working together when facing challenges, especially while navigating through difficult times. This sentiment resonates deeply with the essence of Radius.

Across programs, professions and roles, every person brings something different to the team; skill, creativity, resilience, compassion and commitment to the people and communities we serve.

And sometimes, a strong team needs a day to put down the oars, have some fun and simply enjoy being together.

A heartfelt thank you to the entire Radius team for the passion you bring to our mission and a special acknowledgment to Lisa for organizing this memorable day.

PRIVACY IS PART OF DIGNITY

People should not have to explain the most painful parts of their lives over and over again just to receive care.

Coordination between healthcare, housing, and community services can be essential. So is privacy, dignity, and the right to seek help without judgment.

At Kindred House, a person’s story belongs to them. They decide what they are ready to share, when they are ready to share it and with whom because trust grows when people know their information will be treated carefully.

Support should not require someone to reveal everything, defend every decision, or demonstrate that their needs are worthy.

Sometimes feeling safe enough not to speak is what eventually makes speaking possible.

There is a wall a Kindred House that holds the faces of women who were known here.
Women who laughed, loved, struggled, survived and mattered.
Women who are missed.

We have intentionally obscured their images because remembrance does not require us to surrender their privacy.

This wall is not here to turn lives into lessons or loss into content.
It is here because grief needs somewhere to live.
It reminds the Kindred House team that every relationship leaves something behind. That every person was more than the circumstances the world may have used to define her.

Some people remain part of a place long after they have left it.
They are remembered not only for how they died, but for how they lived, loved and changed those who were fortunate enough to know them.
