Vein Week

This resolution designates the week of April 6-12, 2026, as "Vein Week" in Florida to raise public awareness about venous and lymphatic diseases, particularly blood clots (venous thromboembolism). It does not create new laws or policies but formally recognizes an annual international awareness initiative focused on early detection and prevention of blood clot-related complications. The designation aligns with Florida’s existing efforts, including its blood clot registry and the Emily Adkins Family Protection Act (2025), which require venous thromboembolism risk screening. It directly affects public health awareness efforts in Florida, targeting both the general public and healthcare professionals.
