SRES 586 United States Senate · 118th Congress

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

This resolution (SRES 586) is a symbolic Senate measure supporting the observance of "Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism Awareness Month" in March. It does not create new laws or allocate funds but formally recognizes the Senate's backing for raising public awareness about DVT and PE - serious conditions affecting up to 900,000 people annually in the U.S. and causing 60,000-100,000 deaths. The resolution highlights these conditions as preventable yet often fatal, contributing to significant healthcare costs, and emphasizes the importance of public education.
