What are All-Staff Meetings?
IDOH All-Staff Meetings are a monthly opportunity to come together virtually (via Teams) as an agency to learn about upcoming and ongoing initiatives, celebrate successes, hear from our colleagues, and ask questions of leadership. Your participation is valuable! All staff members are expected to attend unless you have a previously scheduled meeting set by external partners.
How do I participate?
Tune in to the next All-Staff Meeting at 2 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 18.
Have ideas for future topics or want to share some feedback? Please email Greta Sanderson.

Conversations with the Commissioner
What has no smell, you can’t see or taste it, but is the second leading cause of lung cancer?
It's radon, and January is National Radon Action Month. For the first Conversation with the Commissioner of 2026, Lead and Healthy Homes Director Paul Krievins showed me how we can protect ourselves from this colorless, tasteless and odorless gas that forms naturally as a result of the decay of uranium and radium found in rocks and soil. Radium eventually decays into radon gas, causing damage to lungs when inhaled.
Exposure to radon is a serious public health concern in Indiana and the second leading cause of lung cancer. IDOH recommends that all Indiana residents test their homes for radon every 2-5 years.
Take a look at this video to learn more. Great information, Paul!
