Monica Bertagnolli: Private Online Tool for Family Health History for Patients and Families
Monica Bertagnolli, Director of the National Institute of Health (NIH), shared a post on LinkedIn:
“If you’re meeting up with relatives this Thanksgiving, consider asking about your family’s health history.
Knowing about health conditions that run in the family or instances of heart attack or cancer can help your health care providers know what you may be at risk for and if you may need early testing to help keep you healthy.
Click here to check out the private online tool “My Family Health Portrait” that you can use to collect this information.”
