PH Community Workshops: New Name, Same Great Content

The Pulmonary Hypertension Association (PHA) is bringing back its free regional workshops under a new name. Previously known as PHA on the Road, the events are now called PHA PH Community Workshops.

The community workshops bring together people with pulmonary hypertension (PH), families and caregivers for education sessions on PH care and treatment. The daylong events are designed to connect people in various regions of the country, from the newly diagnosed to long-time thrivers.

If you live on the West Coast, join us May 6 in San Diego for our first community workshop this year. If you live in the Midwest or on the East Coast, join us July 29 in the Boston area.

“PH patients should attend to get a better understanding about our disease,” says Denise Clark, who has PH and has spoken at PHA on the Road. “The [regional] medical minds are in one place where you can pick their brains … as well as listen to their informative talks.”

These invaluable workshops provide information about treatment options, disease management and up-to-date clinical research. Speakers include doctors, PH experts and people with PH. The workshops also set aside time for support group meetings. Complimentary meals are included.

The San Diego workshop features sessions on:

• Understanding your medication and side effects.

• CTEPH and blood abnormalities.

• Ask the Expert Q&A.

• Healthy living with PH.

• Self-advocacy.

• Clinical research.

Health care professionals also are welcome to attend. Doctors, nurses, therapists and other professionals can connect with patients and families to directly learn about PH from the perspective of those affected by PH. Health care professionals also can take advantage of the opportunity to network with colleagues in the region who specialize in PH.

PHA suspended regional workshops in 2020 and 2021 because of the pandemic and resumed with PHA on the Road last fall in Louisville, Kentucky. The new name, PH Community Workshops, better represents the purpose of these educational events.

It’s not too late to register. Visit PHAssociation.org/ PHworkshop to sign up and find more information.
