OUR PROJECT GOALS - Improve knowledge of family medical history. Knowing one’s family history is a key element of this project. Tracing the illnesses suffered by parents, grandparents, and other blood relatives can help physicians identify risk factors in their patients and take action to keep them and their family healthy. The public health field and health professionals recognize the importance of individuals knowing their family medical history. They acknowledge this is critical to preventing some of the leading chronic health diseases.
