PH Program Research Day for Patients – 2015

In recognition of Pulmonary Hypertension Awareness Month, the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC celebrated with the PH community by hosting the first Pulmonary Hypertension Research Day for Patients.

On Friday, November 20, 2015, PH patients and their guests visited the Center for Pulmonary Vascular Biology and Medicine to hear from our experts about the latest in PH research, and learn what investigators are working on NOW to better understand PH.  After updates from our speakers, visitors then had opportunities to tour the labs in the Vascular Medicine Institute and get a true behind-the-scenes look at PH research.
