Looking back on the year 2024, PHAWARE’s founder Steve Van Wormer reflects on an extraordinary year of milestones that exemplify the association’s dedication to raising awareness and fostering innovation for the pulmonary hypertension community. Among the notable achievements: the successful launch of a groundbreaking new app, the remarkable milestone of 500 episodes of the inspiring “I’m Aware That I’m Rare” podcast, and the prestigious recognition of being ranked #1 in “Best Pulmonary Hypertension Podcasts You Must Follow in 2025” by Feedspot, a prominent content reader and news aggregator platform that evaluates content based on relevancy, authority, social media engagement, and freshness.
This recognition not only celebrates PHAWARE’s commitment to the pulmonary hypertension community but also highlights the impact of their continuous efforts to educate, support, and connect people affected by pulmonary hypertension. Steve’s leadership and dedication continue to make a profound difference in raising awareness and understanding of this rare disease.
