A resolution supporting the goals and ideals of "Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism Awareness Month".

Establishing March as Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism Awareness Month focuses attention on two serious but often preventable blood‑clot conditions. The resolution defines DVT as clots in deep veins and PE as clots that travel to the lung, notes they affect as many as 900,000 people and cause an estimated 60,000 to 100,000 deaths each year, highlights higher risk for cancer patients and people after pregnancy, lists risk factors like immobility, surgery, older age, and family history, and cites about $10 billion in extra medical costs annually.
