Get safe travel tips to help reduce your risk for blood clots just in time for Memorial Day weekend. ❤️🤍💙 Thanks to the @alexrowanfound for sharing. Have a happy and healthy holiday!

[The Rowan Foundation @alexrowanfound]

Whether you’re driving to the beach, flying to visit family, or heading out for a long Memorial Day weekend getaway, remember: Travel that limits your mobility can increase your risk for blood clots.

Take breaks to stretch, stay hydrated, and move your legs regularly along the way.

Pregnancy and the postpartum period naturally increase the risk for blood clots. For some women, inherited clotting disorders, also known as thrombophilia, may further compound that risk.

Many women may be unaware of a genetic predisposition for clotting, particularly if they have never personally experienced a blood clot. Family history, prior clotting events, pregnancy complications, and other health factors may all be important to discuss with a healthcare provider.

As part of National Women’s Health Month, and during National Women's Health Week, the Rowan Foundation is continuing to share educational resources focused on pregnancy, postpartum recovery, thrombophilia, and informed women’s health conversations.

Understanding thrombophilia:

National Women’s Health Month is here, and all May long the Rowan Foundation is spotlighting women’s health and clotting risk across a lifetime.

From contraception and family planning, to pregnancy and postpartum, to menopause and midlife health, informed choices matter at every stage.

We’re sharing new resources, stories, and women-centered health education throughout the month, with continued focus on awareness of blood clot risks that can affect women at key points across life.

Strong women deserve clear information, thoughtful care, and the power to make informed decisions.

Follow along all month.

[The Rowan Foundation @alexrowanfound]

Women’s health and clotting awareness can intersect across many stages of life, from family planning and birth control, to pregnancy and childbirth, to menopause and some forms of hormone therapy.

This month, the Rowan Foundation is sharing new information and resources to help women better understand clotting risks, recognize symptoms, and have more informed conversations about their health.

Today, we’re introducing our new infographic on women’s health and clotting across a lifetime: https://t.co/tnvstRInbq

Later this week, we’ll begin a focused look at contraception and clotting, with additional resources to support safer, more informed decision-making.

Blood Clot Awareness Month may be coming to an end, but that doesn’t mean we stop raising awareness. Every conversation, every shared fact, and every story helps. Resources, support, or ways to keep making an impact at https://t.co/23j6ied4ms

Thank you @alexrowanfound for including me in Part 2 of the “In Her Words” video series. I am truly honored to be part of this and to stand alongside such strong women who are sharing their stories and advocating for their health and the health of others. 🎥 Watch it!

[The Rowan Foundation @alexrowanfound]

Part 2 of the Rowan Foundation's "In Her Words" video series continues these important personal stories, with an emphasis on how blood clot risk intersects with women’s health across life stages.

These stories reflect the importance of understanding risk, recognizing symptoms, and having the information you need to know to be your own best advocate.

When experience is paired with education and understanding, it leads to empowerment, advocacy, and better care.

Experiencing a DVT or PE can be isolating and leave you wondering what comes next. It can be even harder to explain those feelings of uncertainty to people who have never been through it. What is one thing you wish people understood about blood clots? Share in the comments! #BCAM

[BCRN @ClotRecoveryNet]

When I was diagnosed with a DVT and a life-threatening PE, I was so overwhelmed. There was so much information, so many unknowns, and questions I didn’t even realize I should be asking. Having this @alexrowanfound checklist would have made a difference: https://t.co/DsNEQ6S0V7

[The Rowan Foundation @alexrowanfound]

Checklists play a powerful role in public health, helping people better understand risk, ask informed questions, and take a more active role in their care. They’re not just tools for clinicians. They’re tools for individuals, supporting awareness, guiding conversations, and strengthening self-advocacy in healthcare settings.

The Rowan Foundation’s Women’s Health & Blood Clot Risk Checklist was created with this in mind. It brings together key questions around personal risk, symptoms, prevention, pregnancy, and birth control, so women feel more prepared, more confident, and more empowered to speak up.

Advocacy starts with information, and knowing what to ask can make all the difference.

View and download the checklist, and get the conversation started: https://t.co/DPzXdn9DRI

@alexrowanfound This is such a thoughtful and informative edition! I’m so grateful that, for many years, the Alex Rowan Foundation has made women’s health a priority, ensuring our voices are heard. I’m honored and grateful to share my experiences with blood clot recovery. Thank you. 💜

Check out the latest @alexrowanfound “Women’s Health & Clotting Quarterly.” I’m honored to share my experience navigating the “long middle” of recovery after a blood clot. It’s the part we don’t always talk about, but it matters so much. Don’t miss it: https://t.co/vnQEQ68l6i

[The Rowan Foundation @alexrowanfound]

In recognition of Blood Clot Awareness Month, the latest issue of the Rowan Foundation’s "Women’s Health & Clotting Quarterly" examines how blood clots intersect with women’s health through five key lenses: Awareness, overlooked risks and symptoms, patient voice, the “long middle” after diagnosis, and the future of awareness in this clinical space.

The physical effects of #bloodclots are clear, but the emotional impact can run just as deep. It’s common to face anxiety, depression, or even severe stress after an experience like this. Read more on my blog: https://t.co/rE4yir9dMg

Sharing your story can raise awareness, inspire understanding, and help save lives. It’s also a way to honor your own experiences, creating space for healing, connection, and community. The @alexrowanfound offers a platform to help amplify your voice: https://t.co/tgK6Rh7gy8

[The Rowan Foundation @alexrowanfound]

This week, during Blood Clot Awareness Month, we’re focusing on inspiration. Personal stories inspire others and help people understand risk, recognize symptoms, and feel less alone.

Through our "In Her Words" initiative, the Rowan Foundation invites women to share their experiences with blood clots and related women’s health issues. Share your story here: https://t.co/TGUBV56Cij

Later this week, in the March issue of our "Women’s Health & Clotting Quarterly," we’ll take a closer look at the role of patient stories in health communication, with a commentary exploring when and how they can be most helpful.

[The Rowan Foundation @alexrowanfound]

For each petal on the shamrock, this brings a wish your way: Good health, good luck, and happiness for today and every day.

It seems fitting that March 13 marks 13 years since I started Blood Clot Recovery Network. From the beginning, my purpose here has been to offer hope for healing and to remind people that they are not alone: https://t.co/axdXQtA3Mc
