Angie Knott

Angie Knott’s involvement with the PH community dates back to early 2006 when she began her work as the International Program Manager for the Pulmonary Hypertension Association in the United States. It was during this time that she gathered the knowledge and experience that would—by mid-2008—drive her decision to return home to Vancouver and help the newly established Board of Directors of PHA Canada set down the foundations of a stronger, more unified Canadian PH community. Angie worked as the National Manager for PHA Canada from 2008 to 2015. During those very early years, Angie worked alone in a room filled with boxes and simply started building relationships with the different provincial PH groups that had been set up. With time, she grew close to community members on both ends of the country, working to bring everyone together into one unified whole. She also spearheaded the movement to get PHA Canada accredited by Imagine Canada, which in turn helped develop PHA Canada into a flourishing organization. Angie is responsible for laying much of the groundwork that has allowed PHA Canada to exist at the level that it does now.

Angie is an incredibly hardworking and passionate person whose determination to establish PHA Canada as a credible and effective non-profit organization paved the way to where we are today. Equally, her dedication to the betterment of the lives of those affected by PH shone through in the various programs she spearheaded: from education and awareness campaigns, to national conferences and more.

The incredible work that Angie has done for PHA Canada serves as an inspiration for everyone in the community. She is a tireless advocate who built PHA Canada from the ground up. Her work has allowed for PH patients all across the country to receive better treatment and quality of life. We thank her for everything she has done for the PH community and the incredible impact that she has had on the lives of countless individuals.
