Raise Awareness
PHA raises awareness of pulmonary hypertension to promote early diagnosis, inspire hope and strengthen the PH community.
Pulmonary hypertension affects people of all ages and backgrounds, yet it remains widely misunderstood and often misdiagnosed. The Pulmonary Hypertension Association is committed to raising awareness and public understanding of PH and amplifying the voices of those living with the condition. Through education, patient stories and community engagement, we shine a light on PH year-round, helping more people recognize symptoms, seek care early and feel connected to a supportive community.
