KNOW YOUR FAMILY TREE, SAVE YOUR LIFE

Some of the biggest health advanced are in genetics - and finding the best ways to help patients may lie in knowing their family health histories. Top killers like stroke, diabetes, and cancer are produced by genetic and nongenetic factors, so having family with those diseases can heighten your risk. The Surgeon General wants Americans to compile a family health history and is even offering a free computer profram to help guide you along. Go to www.hhs.gov/familyhistory for the new “My Family Health Portrait.”
