Here’s a neat site I stumbled into this morning….The Department of Health and Human Services has a cool online tool to create a family health history that you can take for consultations with your health care provider. It’s easy to add information, and believe it or not, it asks for very limited information that could be used to identify you directly.
By default, it tracks heart disease, diabetes, and several cancers, but you can add diseases as well. You’ll see that I’ve added GERD and esophageal cancer in my chart because we’ve seen them more than once in my family.
As you build your health resources, this looks like a good one to add to the list.
