En lenguaje claro
This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives officially recognizes March 2025 as Blood Clot Awareness Month in the state. It cites statistics on how common and deadly blood clots are, including that they cause roughly 100,000 deaths a year nationally and are a leading cause of death for new mothers during childbirth, and notes that they contribute heavily to hospital re-admission costs. The resolution does not create any new program, funding, or legal requirement. It simply states the House's recognition of the month and directs the Clerk of the House to distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press. It aligns with a similar designation made by the United States Congress.
