Four Programs.
One Relentless Mission.
We fight blood clot deaths on every front — direct financial aid, community events, mobile technology, and systemic legislative change.
Diagnostic Scholarship Fund
We pay for the scan. You get the diagnosis.
The Diagnostic Scholarship Fund directly eliminates the financial barrier standing between patients and life-saving diagnostic imaging. We cover out-of-pocket costs for CAT scans, MRIs, and ultrasounds for underinsured patients who are being turned away from emergency rooms due to inability to pay.
- Direct payment to hospitals and imaging centers on behalf of patients
- Covers CAT scans, MRIs, and ultrasounds for blood clot detection
- Prioritizes Black maternal health patients and young adults
- Serves underinsured patients in urban and rural communities
- Applications reviewed within 24–48 hours for urgent cases
1st Annual Check My Flow 5K Walk/Run/Bike
Every step raises awareness. Every mile funds a diagnosis.
Our inaugural community awareness event brings people together to raise funds, distribute Patient Advocacy Toolkits, and build a self-sustaining fundraising engine for the foundation's future. The 5K is more than a race — it's a movement.
- Open to walkers, runners, and cyclists of all fitness levels
- Patient Advocacy Toolkits distributed to all participants
- Sponsorship opportunities available for businesses and organizations
- Blood clot awareness education stations along the route
- Proceeds fund the Diagnostic Scholarship Fund
Check My Flow Mobile App
Your rights and your symptoms — in your pocket.
The Check My Flow mobile app puts critical, real-time tools directly into patients' hands while they sit in emergency room waiting rooms. It's designed to empower patients to advocate for themselves in the moments that matter most.
- Real-time symptom checker for DVT and PE warning signs

Legislative Advocacy on Capitol Hill
Changing the law. Saving thousands of lives.
Check My Flow Foundation is fighting to mandate that healthcare companies include the D-dimer blood test in all standard emergency room blood panels for at-risk patients. This single systemic change could prevent thousands of preventable deaths every year.
- Lobbying for D-dimer test mandate in ER standard blood panels
- Coalition building with other health equity organizations
- Patient testimony coordination for congressional hearings
- Policy brief development and distribution to legislators
- Grassroots advocacy training for community members
