Pandemic Precautions
All PHA conference attendees over 5 years old, volunteers and staff must be vaccinated to attend PHA 2022. Those who register online must show vaccination proof at registration. Those who register onsite must show vaccination proof at onsite registration.  Attendees must have received two inoculations (or one in the case of Johnson & Johnson) and a booster of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine by May 15.

International attendees must provide proof of vaccination of  whichever vaccines are approved in their home countries. Proof must be in English or Spanish.

Attendees must show proof of a negative COVID-19 test 48 hours within checking in to the conference. Find out how to get a home testing kit.

For those who are not vaccinated, please consider our virtual live broadcast.

Face masks will be required for all in public spaces, regardless of vaccination status, unless eating or drinking. Attendees are encouraged to practice social distancing while in the event space.

The Hyatt Regency Atlanta hotel will require all hotel staff working the event to wear face masks at all times and gloves when handling food and beverages. The hotel will have a designated PHA check-in line at the front desk. There will be a plexiglass partition on peak arrival day.

Child care staff will be vaccinated and masked in the kids room.

You’ll need a credit card and a deposit equal to one night’s room charge to make a reservation.

Reserve your room by May 18. After that date, discounted reservations will be accepted only if space is available. We expect the room block to fill before May 18, so make your reservations early.

Travel Tips and Special Requests

Need an ADA-compliant room, refrigerator or other service to accommodate your pulmonary hypertension (PH) challenges? Make sure you ask for a room that complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act when you make your hotel reservation. The need for ADA-compliant rooms will be high, and they will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. For information about traveling with oxygen, wheelchair assistance and more, visit our Patient Services page.

Transportation

Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL)
Hartfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is one of the busiest airports in the world. Each of its seven terminals is more than a mile long, which might make walking difficult for some people with pulmonary hypertension. If you need wheelchair assistance to navigate the terminals, tunnels and underground train, contact your airline before you depart. Make sure you request wheelchair assistance at your home airport and in Atlanta for both legs of your trip.

Each airline has representatives to provide wheelchair assistance at the airport, but you might encounter long lines if you wait to request assistance at check-in.

On the day of your flight, get to the airport early in case you have to wait for a wheelchair.
