 DVT ADVOCACY
The Coalition to Prevent DVT
In 2003, more than 60 organizations assembled in Washington, DC, to discuss the need to make DVT a national public health priority. This gathering resulted in the establishment of the Coalition to Prevent Deep-Vein Thrombosis.
To date, the coalition consists of more than 50 organizations, including the ACCP, who share the common goal of raising awareness of DVT and pulmonary embolism among consumers, health-care professionals, leaders in public health, and policymakers. The ACCP is a proud member of this coalition and is dedicated to its continued success in DVT education and prevention.
