Lobby Day Resources
Raise Awareness in Congress about PH

The PH Resource Network Lobby Day is an easy, practical way to make a difference in the lives of PH patients and it’s coming soon! Whether you are a first-time lobbyist, or a Capitol Hill veteran, your participation is important.

It is so important for us to keep our Members of Congress informed with what is happening regarding pulmonary hypertension …Our Senators and Representative control the laws and funding for so much that touches each of our lives -- health care, research, drug availability and cost, social security, Medicare…The list goes on and on. Those with pulmonary hypertension cannot afford not to be part of the process.

-Cindy Pickles, R.N.

On this page, you find a host of tips and resources to help you prepare for the big day. Please review them in advance. This will help ensure that every lobby day participant starts on the same page.

Medical professionals have a unique perspective on pulmonary hypertension. You can share not just one story about the impact of PH, but many. In addition, you offer Members of Congress first-hand information about the ways that your work would benefit from PH research. By making your voice heard, you support your patients and deliver a critical message on behalf of the entire PH community!
