PH Central
Description
Armond, currently a consultant to the board of directors, is the past president and co-founder of PHCentral, Inc. He is a Clinical Psychologist with a longstanding interest in the use of mass media for educational and therapeutic purposes. When his wife became ill with PAH, he harnessed his skills to create an electronic world-wide self-help community which evolved into PHCentral. He is an activist who sees his role as one of providing information, fostering connections, and directing political pressure to benefit the PAH community.
Mimi, PHC’s vice-president and a member of the board of directors, began her volunteer work at PHCentral early in 2001. In addition to her staff duties, she serves as lead Moderator for the group of volunteers that monitor our WebBoard activity. Mimi is retired from a long career as a legal secretary and executive secretary to a Houston City Councilman. Mimi was diagnosed with ph in January 1999, secondary to sleep apnea; her sleep apnea being successfully treated resulted in some improvement in her PAH in 2001. As the mother of 5, grandmother of 11 and great-grandmother of 3, she understands the art of diplomacy. And as she puts it herself, she is uniquely qualified to serve the PAH community because in her lifetime, “I have made upwards of 71,822,564 decisions”.
When I was diagnosed two years ago with PPH, I went into depression, as most people do when diagnosed with a 'terminal illness'. It took me a while to get out of that depression, when I did, I realized that God doesn't do things on accident. He let me be sick, because He knows I can do something good with what I have. I contacted people wanting to help, but no one got back in touch with me. It wasn't until PHCentral came along that people started answering my plea. I want to help!!! I want to help!!! PHCentral gave me the opportunity to host a few chats a week and I have totally loved doing this. The satisfaction that I got, knowing that I am helping someone with the chats , is awesome. When these chats expanded to weekend chats, I felt like I was doing what I am supposed to be doing, helping. I just love being a part of PHCentral. It is wonderful being a part of a family that loves one another, as much as I love them too!!!
