Description
This activity is for people who want to learn more about venous thromboembolism (VTE). We will talk about what VTE is and why it’s important to know about it.

We will also look at the newest information about VTE, who is most at risk, and what signs to watch for. Finally, we will learn simple ways to help prevent and manage VTE to keep people safe.
