Join the fight against DVT

From the first clearly documented DVT case in 1271 until now, the community of #VTEPreventionChampions dedicated to fighting blood clots has grown significantly. However, VTE is still the leading cause of preventable hospital death,1 and it’s persistent. More than 540,000 hospitalized patients develop VTE each year in the U.S.2
