The resolution introduced by Senator Yarborough designates March as Blood Clot Awareness Month in Florida. It highlights the significance of blood clots, which can form inappropriately in the body and lead to serious health issues, including illness, disability, and death. The resolution references the public education campaign "Stop the Clot, Spread the Word," which emphasizes the prevalence of blood clots, affecting up to 900,000 individuals annually in the U.S., with approximately 100,000 fatalities each year. It also outlines the types of blood clots, such as deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, and stresses the importance of recognizing their symptoms for timely medical intervention.

The resolution aims to raise public awareness about the risks, signs, and preventive measures related to blood clots, encouraging residents to be informed and proactive in seeking medical advice. It calls for the Governor to issue an annual proclamation to promote observance of Blood Clot Awareness Month, urging public officials and citizens to engage in activities and programs that enhance understanding and prevention of blood clot-related health issues.
