Getting the Most Out of Your Food: Eating for Pulmonary Hypertension
Uncertain what you should eat and why. Come join us when Erin Dweik, a registered and licensed dietitian will guide us to learning how to eat a healthy and nutritious snack or meal.
After each presentation we will have an informal chat and snack time to share some of our other aspects of living with PH and how we deal with these issues. If you can, bring a helpful hint on what you do to make your PH life a little easier or bring a question or concern.
