Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube Go to... Go to... We are the largest and oldest pulmonary hypertension association in the world, and we are changing the history of an illness. We started from simple beginnings in 1991 when four women met around a kitchen table in Florida. Since then, the Pulmonary Hypertension Association has evolved into an international community of more than 16,000 people with PH, caregivers, family members and health care professionals. PHA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that relies on donations to fund its many programs, including a network of 200-plus patient and caregiver support groups, lifesaving early diagnosis awareness and education programs, specialty care resources, and research to prevent and cure PH. We work every day to end isolation, provide education, involve our constituents in everything we do, and find a cure for pulmonary hypertension. Join our community By connecting with PHA, you are part of a community that: Supports one another. With support groups across the U.S., we spread hope, information and provide a sense of community. Turns strangers into friends. No matter where you live, you can be a part of the PH community. PHA’s online community, and online and telephone support services let you connect with others any time, ending isolation and providing hope. Shares your stories. Stories of patients and caregivers help others feel less alone with this disease. Find inspiration in print in Pathlight, our quarterly magazine. Helps out when called upon. Following PHA’s core belief that any person whose life is touched by PH has the right to fight back as much as health and interest allow, volunteers lead support groups, answer the Support Line, work at meetings, and so much more. And, year round, the work of the PHA staff is complemented by loyal and industrious volunteers who come to the PHA office to help get out mailings, stuff packets and whatever else it takes to keep things running smoothly.

From visits to local offices of Congressional representatives to taking part in Advocacy Day visits on Capitol Hill, our advocates get the attention of legislators when it comes to PH.

PHA’s educational opportunities are almost limitless, from our biennial International PH Conference and Scientific Sessions to our e-learning websites for patients (PHA Classroom) and healthcare providers (PHA Online University). Diminishes boundaries. PH is an illness that knows no boundaries.
