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.
