Online and Phone Support

Connect with other patients and caregivers online or by phone. PHA support programs are facilitated by trained, experienced community volunteers. Known as PHA PHriends, the volunteers are trained to listen to your story, share tips and advice from their own experiences, and refer you to helpful resources.

Support line

Support Line volunteers answer questions, lend a sympathetic ear or guide you in solving problems or issues related to living with PH. Call PHA’s toll-free support line to speak with a volunteer: 800-748-7274.

Email PHriends

Email PHriends can share what they’ve learned along their PH journeys, point you to information and resources, and work with you to develop strategies for coping with PH. Email PHriends can answer questions through email for up to three months.

Note: PHA PHriends are available to provide hope and support to people with PH and caregivers. They don’t provide medical advice, which should come from your physician.
