Requests Governor Kathy Hochul 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 on blood clot treatment at hospitals nationwide

Blood clots are the number one killer of new mothers in childbirth and affect people with cancer, those undergoing surgery, and the more than five million Americans with heartbeat problems

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