Family health history is one tool that healthcare providers use to assess an individual’s risk for certain conditions.
Why is it important? Knowing which health conditions affect certain family members, and at what ages, can help you understand whether you may be at increased risk and, if necessary, take steps to reduce that risk. Family health history can also provide information about the risk of passing on certain conditions to children when you are family planning.
Watch this webinar to learn more about how you can take action to keep yourself and your family healthy.
