“...(T)he Surgeon General encourages Americans to talk about and to write down the health problems that seem to run in their family. Learning about their family's health history may help ensure a longer, healthier future together,” advises the US Department of Health and Human Services.  We echo this suggestion.  Families that discuss their medical history provide the key to helping current and future generations manage their own health. The U.S. Surgeon General’s Office offers a free web tool (https://familyhistory.hhs.gov ) to help you build a family tree  that tracks relationships and medical information.  Create your family history file and download it to a personal computer to update the tree as your relatives share more information over time.
