WASHINGTON, July 7, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Pulmonary Hypertension Association heads to Denver, Aug. 23-24, for a weekend of events aimed at raising pulmonary hypertension awareness and providing education, support and empowerment.

PH Community Workshop Denver
The PH Community Workshop is set for Saturday, Aug. 23, at the Denver Marriott Westminster Hotel. The free event will provide education on disease management and treatment for both adult and pediatric pulmonary hypertension. Participants will gain insights into living this rare, life-threatening condition and connect with others affected by PH, including industry representatives and health care providers.
Workshop co-chairs are:
- David Badesch, MD, professor of medicine and director, pulmonary hypertension program at University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Center.

Pulmonary hypertension is a chronic, life-threatening condition that causes high blood pressure in the lungs. It affects an estimated 75 million people worldwide across all ages and ethnic backgrounds. Symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue and chest pain are often mistaken for other common conditions, leading to potentially dangerous delays in diagnosis and treatment. While many types of PH are incurable, early diagnosis and proper treatment can extend and improve an individual's quality of life. Advances in treatment and a better understanding of PH have led to effective therapies, improved outcomes and increased survival rates for various types of this condition.
