Our Mission

  • To provide the best possible medical care to patients with thrombosis (blood clots) and individuals with thrombophilia (clotting disorders)

  • To educate patients, health care providers, and the public about thrombosis and thrombophilia

Patient and Health Care Professional Education: Clot Connect

Resources: Clot Connect and Athletes and Blood Clots Program is an educational outreach project of the Hemophilia and Thrombosis Center.

Clot Connect emerged from the observation that blood clot survivors face many unique challenges including risks associated with anticoagulant use (blood thinners), the development of post-thrombotic disorders and increased risks for future clots. Blood clot survivors and their families need information and support to manage the effects of a blood clot and to prevent future clots. It was also recognized that health care professionals need easier access to the latest treatment options and scientific research related to the diagnosis, care and management of patients with blood clots and clotting disorders. Additionally, it was known that although blood clots area a common health condition, there exists low public awareness.

Clot Connect initiatives are targeted at:

  • Persons who have experienced a blood clot
  • Health care professionals
  • Persons at high risk for developing a blood clot
  • The General Public
