Listen Later

Guests: Jaeger Spratt, advocacy and treatment access program manager; Amy Burant, pulmonary arterial hypertension patient of 12 years; and Colleen Connor, PH patient of 18 years.

This episode of PH Insights is the second in a two-part series about the Supplemental Oxygen Access Reform Act, created in collaboration with the American Thoracic Society’s Breathe Easy podcast. Visit “How the SOAR Act Can Keep Patients' Oxygen Flowing” to listen to part one.  

Guest host Jaeger Spratt highlights the voices of long-time PH patient advocates Amy Burant and Colleen Connor, who share their experiences with oxygen access and how those challenges have shaped their PH journeys. They also discuss their advocacy work and call on all members of lung disease communities, especially health care professionals, to advocate for the SOAR Act and help lung disease patients breathe easier.

 

To learn more about our advocacy efforts, visit PHA’s Advocacy Action Center and make your voice heard by using PHA’s SOAR Act advocacy message template to tell your legislators to pass the SOAR Act. If you have any questions about advocacy and the SOAR Act, please contact [email protected]
