Plan to “Stick it to PH” – Participate in the Research Room
PHA’s International PH Conference provides researchers with the rare opportunity to collect information and samples from a large number of patients at one time through the Research Room. Your participation will provide researchers with a clearer understanding of pulmonary hypertension and help bring them one step closer to finding a cure.
Save time by filling out the Research Room Enrollment Form before coming to Conference! Print the form available on PHA’s website and bring it with you to the Research Room. This information can be shared by all of the researchers participating at the event, so you will only need to fill it out once to contribute to multiple research initiatives!
Research Room Hours:
Friday, June 22: 7:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Saturday, June 23: 8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Sunday, June 24: 8:00 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. *Updated!
