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

This resolution expresses support for Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism Awareness Month.

Deep vein thrombosis is a condition caused by a blood clot in the deep veins of the body; pulmonary embolisms (i.e., where a blood clot breaks off and lodges in the lung) are a potentially life-threatening complication of this condition.
