My Family Health Portrait - Welcome - 0 views

  •  
    A tool to help individuals track their family health information. 1) What I like about this site: There's helpful how-to information in the FAQ and the site does a gd job of explaining why a family health history record can be important. There's also a support telephone line that provides assistance to people who are struggling. The site includes a Spanish and Portuguese language version. 2) What might be improved: some of the "Get Help" info is actually in the FAQ (i.e., the info about the help line).
