"The Network" for people living with pulmonary hypertension in Australia
|
Pulmonary Hypertension Network Australia wants to spread our message of hope and compassion. We believe that a single action can make a difference in the community, and that collective action can greatly impact the world. Through advocacy and outreach activities, our team works tirelessly each day to contribute their part to the greater good.
"The Network" is a national charity that partners with the community to reduce diagnosis times, support and educate those living with pulmonary hypertension in Australia. We stand alongside survivors and their families, community services, self help and support groups/organisations, healthcare professionals and researchers. We build community awareness and foster new and innovative thinking and approaches to support people living with pulmonary hypertension. We endeavour to develop effective and holistic, person-centered approaches to care and treatment. We support and assist people through their journey to develop the knowledge and skills needed to manage and live well with a serious, chronic disease. |
We are a voice for pulmonary hypertension in Australia and we work to:
When you become part of our Australian "Network PHamily" for people living with pulmonary hypertension, you're helping to connect and support members of our community, create resources for patients and caregivers, and ensure that those affected by Pulmonary Hypertension are not alone.
- To improve the quality of the lives of those living with Pulmonary Hypertension in Australia.

We may all have the same disease, but we all have our own stories....Welcome to the all new PHNA writers club, "The Quirky Collective". We are so pleased to be launching this new "Network" initiative in honour of World PH Day 5th May 2019, and to kick off our 2019 theme, "Hope is where the Heart is".
Our new initiative begins with the personal stories of our Ambassador Tegan Dunmall, her good friend and transplant recipient Steph Wilson, and our Founder and CEO, Melissa Dumitru. Three short stories for you to enjoy and share on various things they have experienced on their journies. If you are someone living with PAH/PH, a carer, friend, family member, or even a medical , health professional or a community services sector worker with a story, we would love to share your stories with our community. There is nothing quite like talking to someone else who has been, or is going through the same things you are and hearing about their experiences. We value what you have to share with our community. Anyone from our Australian pulmonary hypertension community with a lived experience is welcome to submit work for consideration and to become a regular contributor to "The Quirky Collective". Please don't be shy, we can't wait to read your stories and share your experiences. Click on the graphic to the right for more information and to read our stories to date. Editor |
