The Pulmonary Hypertension Program is embedded in the HFCC and it provides care for a growing population with pulmonary arterial hypertension who are on oral and infusion therapies. The HFCC is an active participant in several multicenter randomized clinical trials. HFCC has been the recipient of multiple get-with-the-guidelines (GWTG) Gold-plus certification for implementing guideline-directed medical therapy for patients with HF.
