While we currently have 200 local support groups meeting across the country, this still cannot reach all those living with PH or their family, friends and caregivers. Moreover, online support group meetings are perfect for those days you don't feel like leaving the house, and really need support.

We encourage chat room visitors to discuss their health care with their doctors. These chats are intended only to provide a meeting place for patients and family members to communicate with one another and not to provide medical advice on personal health matters, which should be obtained directly from a physician. PHA will not be responsible for visitors' actions taken as a result of their interpretation of information contained in these chat rooms.

We have a new chat tool!
The new chat tool still has explanations of what you are hovering over with your mouse, but it also has a handy Help function that is a complete users guide. Be sure you allow pop-ups in order to use the Help User Guide.

In order to provide this meaningful service, we need people willing to host chats on a regular basis so there's one to fit everyone's schedule. If you are interested in being a chat host, please contact chats@PHAssociation.org.
