“This was an event that I am happy to be at. I learn more every day. I was able to meet many people, listen and am grateful! I will be at Conference in Orlando in 2018.”
“Fantastic program! Very well organized. Brought pearls of knowledge to patients, both new and long term. Thank you for a well-organized event!”
“I have had PH for 16 years, been to at least 5 conferences, and attended PHA on the Road in Philly. I am in awe that I have learned something new at every event. Just 3 months ago, I attended Conference and still learned new things today.”
PHA ON THE ROAD

PHA on the Road is a FREE day-long education and networking program. This patient-focused program offers educational presentations by PH expert physicians, interactive question and answer sessions with health care professionals and other patients, opportunities for families to meet others living with PH.
