pulmonary hypertension is about three years, and too often those people spend all that time trying to find out what’s wrong with them instead of getting the correct treatment as a result of a proper diagnosis. There is no cure yet for PH but there are effective treatments available and people with pulmonary hypertension, who get their condition diagnosed in time and get their correct treatment, are able to live longer, healthier, and happier lives. Funds raised during this Saturday eve- ning’s events will support PHA Canada, lo- cal patients, and the Ottawa PH stem cell research program. Tickets available at the Russell branch of Scotiabank, Barry’s Home Hardware, and Urban Country, or email conjon57@gmail.com.
