PH Awareness Month in Full Swing!

This weekend saw events across the country raising awareness about pulmonary hypertension.

Georgia Support Group Leaders Sally Maddox and Robin Merritt organized a major all day Fun-Walk in their community to raise money for PH research and PHA services. With some 70 people in attendance, the Walk raised $12,000 for research and patient services.

PHA staff members joined patients, family, and medical professionals at Children's Hospital in Washington, DC, for its first-ever PH Children's Day.
