Discover CTEPH resources and activities this month. Learn about chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, a serious condition that can develop in people after an acute pulmonary embolism.

Join us on Nov. 12, CTEPH Awareness Day, for “Steps to an Effective CTEPH Care Plan,” at 2 p.m. ET. Then connect with the nationwide PH community at 8 p.m. ET Nov. 18 for an online CTEPH support group.

Tune in Nov. 12 for Part 1 of our PH Insights podcast episode, “Partnering with Your Care Team: Advocacy in PH.” In this episode, meet new hosts Jolie Lizana and Jenna Olitsky, who have PH, and Meghan Cirulis, medical director, Intermountain Health Pulmonary Hypertension Center, Utah. Learn why understanding your health is the foundation of effective advocacy. The hosts will explore how education empowers patients to communicate confidently with their doctors, build trust within their care teams, and take an active role in managing PH.

In Part 2, which airs Nov. 26, Olitsky and Cirulis will focus on self-advocacy beyond the doctor’s office. They will discuss how to communicate your needs with family, friends and others, set healthy boundaries, and find confidence in representing yourself and your condition.

Throughout November, visit our CTEPH Awareness Day Toolkit for social media graphics and posts to download and share.
