This resolution supports making March a special month to teach people about blood clots. It focuses on clots that form in the deep veins of the body and those that travel to the lungs, which can be life-threatening.
Every year, nearly 900,000 people in the U.S. deal with these types of blood clots. They cause up to 100,000 deaths annually, making them a leading cause of preventable deaths in hospitals.
The goal is to help people understand who is at risk, such as cancer patients, pregnant women, and people recovering from surgery. By raising awareness, supporters hope to save lives and reduce the $10 billion spent on treating these conditions each year.
