Connecting PAH patients with support resources

Because living with PAH brings new challenges, Lung LLC and United Therapeutics have created a comprehensive program that can help you learn about PAH and your therapy options, and provides emotional support and an opportunity to talk with others who have been down a similar path.

Here are some of the valuable resources you can expect from Living PAH:

Education, news, and support
Help with insurance, co-pays, and more
The opportunity to talk to others living with PAH
Personal help when you feel overwhelmed by the challenges of living with PAH or just need someone to talk to who understands the path you're traveling
