Summary of Bill HRES 214

Bill 118 HRES 214, also known as the "Supporting the goals and ideals of Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism Awareness Month," is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The bill aims to raise awareness about Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and Pulmonary Embolism (PE), two serious medical conditions that can lead to potentially life-threatening blood clots.

DVT occurs when a blood clot forms in a deep vein, usually in the legs, while PE happens when a blood clot breaks loose and travels to the lungs. Both conditions can have serious consequences, including death, if not treated promptly.

The bill seeks to designate the month of March as "Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism Awareness Month" in order to educate the public about the risk factors, symptoms, and prevention strategies for these conditions. It also encourages healthcare providers to promote awareness and education about DVT and PE among their patients. Overall, Bill 118 HRES 214 aims to increase awareness and understanding of DVT and PE in order to improve early detection, treatment, and prevention of these potentially life-threatening conditions.
