Liz McCall is a PH patient who was diagnosed in 2000. She saw the need for support in the BC PH community. . . somewhere people could turn to share their PH adventures, hugs and tears. In 2001 the BC Pulmonary Hypertension Society was formed. BCPHS was incorporated in 2005.
Support is now available for patients, families, friends and medical professionals. Through awareness displays, public service announcements played on radio stations across BC and hosting an annual symposium, PH awareness is increasing. BCPHS continues to flourish and develop. Liz never thought the society would grow as quickly as it has. She realized there was a need but never imagined it to be so great. As one of the pioneers of this rare disease, Liz is glad to be here to offer her inspiration to others.

Margaret was introduced to Pulmonary Hypertension in 2000 when her best friend Elizabeth McCall was diagnosed with this disease. She recalls her initial shock followed by fear of the unknown and all the unanswered questions as she witnessed her friend trying to come to terms with this disease. Margaret is proud to work alongside Liz and the many other volunteers of BCPHS to create awareness of PH and to foster the "PHENOMENAL HOPE" for a cure. Margaret's history in nursing has been primarily in acute care on an orthopedic surgical unit, with additional experience in medical and long term care settings.
