It’s unanimous – PHA’s 8th International PH Conference was a huge success! In addition to the valuable educational material, attendees took home new friendships and wonderful memories. Over 1,150 patients, family members, medical professionals and industry representatives attended the three day event held in Houston, Texas.

Here is what attendees had to say…

Again, I cannot thank PHA enough for making this such a learning experience. I come home after each conference with more knowledge and more to share with those patients who are unable to travel.
– Cindy Wangerud, PH patient and Minnesota Metro Area Support Group Leader

I met a number of newly diagnosed patients who were so grateful to be there and were literally experiencing hope for the first time.  It is truly a life-changing experience to be in a room of over 1,000 people from all walks of life and to feel such a deep connection with each of them.
– Laura D’Anna, member PHA Board of Trustees

We weren’t able to capture all of the inspiring stories, pictures and video at Conference – but here is just a small taste from PHA’s 2008 Conference in our live reports. Handouts and audio recordings from nearly all of the 80 + informative sessions will be posted soon.

PHA would like to thank all attendees for making PHA’s Conference the unique and meaningful event that it is. We hope to see everyone at the 2010 Conference June 25 – 27 in Orange County, California!
