The Surgeon General offers a free computer program called "My Family Health Portrait." It helps create a picture of your family's health history.

Consider sharing the report with your doctor.

The actual online program is at the second website in the clip.

Whoops, I didn't get it; maybe it went into my junk box and I deleted it. Sorry, would you resend?
