Bill > J01437

This resolution, a formal request from the New York State Legislature, urges Governor Kathy Hochul to officially designate March 2026 as Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and Pulmonary Embolism (PE) Awareness Month within the state. DVT and PE are serious and potentially fatal conditions caused by blood clots, which affect people of all ages and backgrounds, and are a leading cause of death for new mothers. The resolution highlights that blood clots are a significant health threat nationally and that March is already recognized as Blood Clot Awareness Month. It emphasizes that while many blood clots are preventable, early diagnosis and proper management are crucial to avoid severe outcomes like death, disease, and recurrence, underscoring the need for increased public awareness at all levels.
