Join the Pulmonary Hypertension Association for the upcoming webinar, “Using Tele-Rehabilitation to Reduce Fear and Anxiety Around Exercise.” Speakers Aimee Layton, principal researcher and lead panelist, and Michael Fremed, pediatric cardiologist and moderator, will discuss key findings from Layton’s PHA-supported research study on virtual cardiac rehabilitation. 

Layton will share the purpose of her study and how it aims to improve mental health for people living with pulmonary arterial hypertension. Pulmonary arterial hypertension patients will share their experience participating in Layton's study and how they hope it will impact others with PAH 

In this webinar, you will learn:

• How tele-rehabilitation can improve mental health and reduce fear and anxiety related to physical activity.
• How patients and families can talk with their care team about tele-rehabilitation options and address potential barriers.
• Why research is a priority for PHA and why it matters to people living with PH.

This webinar will be available in English and Spanish. Register now.
