3rd National Family History Day
In 2004 U.S. Surgeon General Richard H. Carmona declared Thanksgiving to be the first annual National Family History Day. His goal for this Family History Day was for relatives to get together to talk about and write down their health problems and medical histories. Tracing the illnesses suffered by your parents, grandparents, and siblings can help your doctor predict the disorders you may be at risk of and help you prevent them from happening to yourself.
So take some time today filling out My Family Health Portrait.
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
