Pulmonary Hypertension Association (PHA)

PHA are the largest and oldest pulmonary hypertension association in the world, and they are changing the history of an illness.

We started from simple beginnings in 1991 when three patients and a nurse met around a kitchen table in Florida. Support groups and a printed newsletter, Pathlight, connected patients of a disease so rare most patients felt isolated and alone. Research conducted at their first conference in 1994 led to the first PH treatment.

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.
