The Pulmonary Hypertension Association (PHA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides support, education, advocacy, and awareness association for pulmonary hypertension. It provides information to the public about the illness and acts as a support group for those with the disease, providing medical provider location services and emotional support for those suffering from the illness.

Singer Chloe Temtchine, who suffers from pulmonary venoocclusive disease (PVOD), which accounts for a small number of pulmonary hypertension cases, wrote her song "Be Brave" shortly after she was released from a hospital's critical care unit, and donates 50% of sales proceeds to the PHA.
