Talking Points
How to Record Your Family Medical History
Our family stories matter. They help us remember who we are, where we came from and why it is important. Voices in the Valley begins a new series on How to Capture your Family Stories and Preserve your Family Legacy with this episode on recording your family’s medical history. On a quest to find her ancestors, Steph calls Sweden, fails in the attempt; but, all is not lost. She, Jenna and Dina laugh their way through the try. Dr. Chuck Bransford explains to student host Blake that when it comes to health, the more you know the better. By tracking your family’s medical history, at what age disease struck and how common the illness was, individuals can be empowered to better take care of themselves.

Also check out "My Family Health Portrait", a tool from the Surgeon General to enter your family history and learn your about yours risks for conditions that can run in families. It's well worth doing. As Dr. Bransford says, "I love the image of each of us being detectives for our own health, gathering clues in the family history and maybe even the physician acting as the Detective Inspector helping to sift through the clues and make sense of what we can."
