[On Screen Text: Laura PAH Initiative Ambassador]

Even though you’ve never heard of this disease, we exist.

[On Screen Text: Joanne PAH Initiative Ambassador]

We as a community are doing our best to make pulmonary hypertension a known entity, a known illness in the world.

Newly diagnosed patients will want to know about our resources, about our support groups, about what is going on within the community.

It’s not well known amongst our family and our friends, as well as the greater part of the medical community.

I hope that other people realize about the PAH community, is that we’re strong, we’re courageous, and that we exist.
