This resolution supports the goals and ideals of "Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism Awareness Month," which is designated as March. Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a condition where a blood clot forms in a deep vein, most commonly in the leg, and a Pulmonary Embolism (PE) is a life-threatening complication where a clot travels to the lungs. The resolution highlights that these are serious but often preventable medical conditions that affect hundreds of thousands of Americans annually, causing tens of thousands of deaths and significant medical costs, and are particularly concerning for cancer patients and pregnant individuals. By supporting this awareness month, the resolution aims to increase public understanding of DVT and PE, emphasizing their preventability and the importance of recognizing their risks.
