The National Blood Clot Alliance’s (NBCA) founding members were patients and medical professionals attending a thrombosis and thrombophilia workshop hosted by The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2003. Sharing a common concern, they resolved to build a national organization to advocate for – and to educate and support — those affected by clotting disorders. Each Board member at that time, and most still today, have been touched personally by blood clots, DVTs, pulmonary embolism or such genetic variants as the Factor V Leiden gene mutation.

The NBCA is a 501(c)(3), non-profit, voluntary health organization dedicated to advancing the prevention, early diagnosis and successful treatment of life-threatening blood clots such as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and clot-provoked stroke.

NBCA works on behalf of people who may be susceptible to blood clots, including, but not limited to, people with clotting disorders, atrial fibrillation, cancer, traumatic injury, and risks related to surgery, lengthy immobility, child birth and birth control.

NBCA accomplishes its mission through programs that build public awareness, educate patients and healthcare professionals, and promote supportive public and private sector policy.

Mission

The mission of Blood Clot Recovery Network is to provide a community where blood clot patients, and their families and friends, can join together to find information and support to help aid in recovery from the often life-changing impact of blood clots, including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE).

Blood Clot Recovery Network is here to remind you that there is hope for healing from blood clots, and you are not alone.

Mission

The American Blood Clot Association is a nationwide non-profit, voluntary health organization that is dedicated to educating patients and healthcare professionals to prevent, diagnose, and treat life-threatening blood clots like DVT (deep vein thrombosis), PE (pulmonary embolism), and clot related stroke.

Vision

The American Blood Clot Association envisions a future in which there is a high public awareness to the life threatening dangers of blood clots.  With a higher awareness, blood clot related conditions and deaths will be significantly reduced.

The American Blood Clot Association focuses its initiatives on the people who are at a high risk of developing a blood clot, those who have experienced a blood clot, and medical professionals who diagnose and treat patients.

Objectives

* Become the key source of information to increase awareness and knowledge of blood clot conditions and treatments to patients and healthcare professionals.
* Prevent blood clots(thrombosis), diminish suffering, and reduce death related to blood clots.
* Work with healthcare professionals to establish guidelines to prevent, diagnose, treat, and manage blood clots.
* Assist in developing support groups locally and online.
* Promote educational courses/webinars for patients and healthcare professionals
* Build an online social network that increases awareness, encourages conversation and collaboration.
* Create awareness through traditional and social media channels
* Encourage medical professionals to specialize in thrombosis/thrombophilia.

Women & Blood Clots

Choices connected to family planning, pregnancy, and the treatment of menopause symptoms must be carefully weighed to reduce the risk of dangerous blood clots.
