Knowledge of Family History can be Important- According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (http://www.cdc.gov/Features/FamilyHistory/), knowledge of family history can be important for determining a child’s health risks.  It can help make a diagnosis, if a child presents with symptoms, or suggest strategies families can employ to minimize or postpone the onset of certain diseases.

Promotion of Family Health History Awareness in the NYMAC region.
