Singing River Regional Pulmonary Hypertension Center

The Singing River Health System Regional Pulmonary Hypertension Center, located in Ocean Springs, is the only pulmonary hypertension center on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Pulmonary hypertension is an uncommon type of high blood pressure that affects only the arteries in the lungs and the right side of the heart. Patients will typically see many physicians before they are correctly diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension because it can appear to be any number of conditions. It is a serious illness that becomes progressively worse if left untreated. No referral is needed to see one of our pulmonologists. After a complete evaluation, our physicians will determine which treatments and medications are best suited to the individual patient.
