My Family Health Portrait; Quit and Stay Quit; ChooseMyPlate

There are diseases that can’t be seen coming, but there are diseases that can be screened for, if only we knew what we were looking to find. Thankfully, a family history can help, particularly if it is together in an easily retrievable location. Understanding the critical importance of family history on personal health, the Office of the Surgeon General created My Family Health Portrait (https://familyhistory.hhs.gov), a website that captures a patient’s detailed family history in one shot.
