National Blood Clot Alliance Launches Awareness Bus Tour in Mississippi to Combat Health Disparities
The National Blood Clot Alliance (NBCA) has initiated a Blood Clot Awareness Bus Tour across Mississippi, scheduled from May 16 to May 26, 2026. This initiative aims to educate communities about blood clot prevention, symptoms, and risk factors. The tour is particularly significant in Mississippi due to the state's rural access challenges and health disparities, which make residents more vulnerable to conditions like Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and Pulmonary Embolism (PE). The tour will visit various locations, including hospitals and community centers, to provide education and build support for the proposed Amy Dew Dornbusch Blood Clot Prevention Bill. This bill, named after a Mississippi mother who died from a pulmonary embolism, seeks to enhance blood clot education and establish a state registry for tracking blood clot incidents.
