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

SRES 116 is a Senate resolution supporting the goals of Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism Awareness Month. It recognizes the severity of these preventable conditions - impacting up to 900,000 Americans annually and causing 60,000-100,000 deaths each year - and emphasizes the need for public awareness. The resolution does not create new laws or policies but serves as a formal statement to encourage education and prevention efforts. It directly affects public awareness efforts by highlighting these conditions without imposing legal requirements.
