The Pulmonary Hypertension Association of Canada (PHA Canada) is a Canadian registered charity organization serving those whose lives have been touched by pulmonary hypertension (PH). PHA Canada was established by patients, caregivers and family members on the principles of ending isolation, raising awareness, providing education and creating a united Canadian pulmonary hypertension community. Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a rare, incurable lung disease that affects as many as 10,000 Canadians of all ages, races and genders. The mission of PHA Canada is to work within a united pulmonary hypertension community and to provide leadership in awareness, advocacy, education and patient support on behalf of all Canadians living with PH. PHA Canada works to raise awareness of this disease in the general public and among healthcare providers. It engages in advocacy activities with all levels of government and offers patients and their families wide-ranging support, education and hope.
