If you're like most patients, the initial diagnosis of PH may be scary. PH is a serious illness that affects every aspect of your life, but the important thing for you to know is that THERE IS HOPE and medical advances are happening rapidly.

When PHA was formed, there were no treatments for PH. Today, PH patients have several therapies from which to choose, and life expectancy is continuing to rise. Now that you have been diagnosed, it is important you find a PH specialist to work with you in determining the best course of treatment.

Following are a few places to start battling this disease through knowledge and community:

What is PH?
Fact Sheets
PH - A Patient's Survival Guide
Other Books and Guides
Insurance Issues
Emergency Situations
