The following pictures are from the BonSecure's Venice Hospital, where they had an educational table Sept 18, 19 & 20 for PH Awareness week.

--from the Hospital-- "We met 7 people in those 3 days that either have been diagnosed with PH or someone in their family was diagnosed; Some recently. A grandfather of a 4 year old that was just diagnosed happened to come into the hospital to see someone and stopped at our booth and took information for his family. We were able to pass out some of the CD's to the librarian, some medical staff, the nutritionist, the head of the Chaplains, Social Service Dept and the instructor for the Student Nurse program at the hospital. Several people took information and gave it to others that they were concerned about. Pam Alcorn, from Accredo Therapeutics, and I are receiving calls this week from some of those people that were given information." --Penny Engel tournament.
These pics are from the Sept 22 meeting at Heath South Rehabilitation Hospital in Sarasota FL. Dr. Swisher spoke on Pulmonary Hypertension: the Diagnosis and Treatment.
"Dr. Swisher did a slide presentation that was informative and it was enjoyed by all. Members of PHA that attended were Dorothy and Harry Olson and Barbara Smith. We had staff from Accredo Therapeutics and Rotech Charlotte Medical Supply there also. Attendance was 50 people."--Penny Engel
