Head to Toe Awareness: 30 Ways to Make an Impact This World Thrombosis Day

Prepare for World Thrombosis Day 2025 with powerful strategies to engage your community in the “From Head to Toe, Take Control” campaign.

Community engagement amplifies thrombosis awareness, making your impact more meaningful by encouraging vital conversations, sharing personal stories and leveraging social media to reach wider audiences. This approach creates ripple effects that improve public health outcomes. For partners, community engagement ensures messages resonate with local cultures, languages and specific health needs. This localized approach enhances WTD outreach by connecting thrombosis prevention to major health conditions like heart disease, cancer and diabetes.

The “Head to Toe” campaign emphasizes that blood clots affect the entire body and are linked to many chronic conditions. By encouraging people to learn about risk factors, ask healthcare providers about prevention and act through preventive measures, communities can protect their health from head to toe.
