H.Res. 1112 is a symbolic resolution that designates March as "Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism Awareness Month" to highlight two serious but often preventable blood clot conditions. The resolution notes that DVT (blood clots in deep veins) and PE (when clots travel to the lungs) affect approximately 900,000 Americans annually and cause an estimated 60,000 to 100,000 deaths per year, making them leading causes of preventable hospital deaths. The bill emphasizes that certain groups face higher risk, including cancer patients, pregnant women, and those undergoing surgery or with limited mobility. The resolution carries no funding or implementation costs, as it simply expresses congressional support for raising public awareness about these potentially life-threatening conditions and their prevention. Introduced in March 2026 by Representatives Murphy and Tonko, the resolution was referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
