The National Blood Clot Alliance (NBCA) Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) Centers of Excellence ™ program is designed to recognize and support healthcare centers that demonstrate exceptional commitment to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of blood clots as well as promote VTE awareness in their communities. Our program establishes a network of leading institutions that set the standard for VTE care, ensuring that patients receive the highest quality of care informed by the latest research and best practices in addition to supporting community engagement.

Centers achieving the NBCA VTE Center of Excellence™ designation are recognized for their comprehensive approach to patient care, interdisciplinary collaboration, commitment to continuous improvement and education, and community involvement. By participating in this program, centers join a distinguished community of clinicians, patients, and communities dedicated to reducing the impact of VTE and improving patient outcomes nationwide.

In August 2024, Erin VanDyke, PA-C, MPAS was appointed vice president of the Centers of Excellence. Read more here.
