Breaking news from Oklahoma! HB 3644, the “Blake Burgess Act,” has passed the House and now heads to the Senate. The bill honors Blake Burgess, who died from a PE at 21, and would establish VTE prevention protocols, staff training, and a statewide registry. We appreciate the Burgess family for their advocacy and dedication to ensuring no other family faces this same loss. #BloodClotAwarenessMonth @lesllake
