Requests Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 2026 as Blood Clot Awareness Month in New York State, aligning with National Blood Clot Awareness Month

Every minute someone is diagnosed with a blood clot and every six minutes a blood clot kills someone, according to the National Blood Clot Alliance

Blood clots are the leading cause of hospital readmissions, costing more than $10 billion of the $16 billion spent nationally on blood clot treatment

Blood clots are the number one killer of new mothers in childbirth and affect people with cancer, chronic diseases, and those undergoing surgical procedures

Many blood clots can be prevented, and poor outcomes including death can be avoided with early and accurate diagnosis and management
