November is pulmonary Hypertension (PH) Awareness month, and we are trying to shed a positive light to this little known life threatening illness through a fun filled night of both education, and entertainment,

 

Pulmonary hypertension, (PH) is a complex disease of the blood vessels in the lungs causing increased pressure (pulmonary hypertension) in the pulmonary arteries.   PH is progressive, irreversible, debilitating, and a life threatening disease that can affect anyone of any age. 

 

The Pulmonary Hypertension Association  is a non-profit (501 (c)(3) tax exempt) organization whose mission is to find ways to prevent and cure pulmonary hypertension, and to provide hope for the pulmonary hypertension community through support, education, advocacy and awareness.   For more information regarding PH go to PHAssociation.org
