Help spread the word about pulmonary hypertension (PH).

Raising Awareness of PH Is Vital.
Because of lack of awareness, evidence suggests that for every patient who has been diagnosed with PH, there's another going through a bewildering journey to diagnosis - one that could take 2-3 years and involve as many as 5 doctors.

Although PH is incurable,the good news is that there are treatments and specialized care that can help people with PH live longer and with a fair quality of life. The earlier the disease is diagnosed, the better the outcome.

Support Those Living With PH
Because so few people have heard of PH and even fewer know what living with the condition can mean, it can make people with PH feel extremely isolated.

How You Can Help
PHA has adopted a blue kiss logo to raise awareness of PH (blue lips, or "cyanosis," can indicate the presence of PH) and over the next two years the organization and its members, in association with PH patient groups in 13 countries across the world, are embarking on a campaign to raise the profile of PH.
