Jennifer Bryson

Jennifer was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension in September 2012, at the age of 28, while pregnant with her first child. Jennifer has now been living with pulmonary hypertension for over 20 years, and has discovered a lot within that time about herself, health and wellness — what it’s like living with an “invisible” chronic disease, and how complete strangers can knock you down or help pick you back up.

Jennifer is passionate about advocating for herself and others living with pulmonary hypertension and chronic disease. She has taken peer support courses, continues to get involved with PHA Canada initiatives when possible, and strives to make a difference in everything that she’s involved with.
