Create Your Own Family Health Portrait

Ever wondered how your family’s health history impacts your own health? My Family Health Portrait, a free tool from the U.S. Surgeon General, enables you to create and save a complete family history. This software, which is stored on your computer and not on a U.S. government server, can be accessed and edited at any time—you don’t even have to know your family’s complete history, either. When used in consultation with a doctor or a healthcare professional, My Family Health Portrait can help in assessing your risk for disease and identifying strategies to prevent disease.
