Recognized every year on Thanksgiving, Family Health History day is a time to learn more about what your family has been affected by. There are some traits passed on genetically that families need to discuss. Diabetes can be debilitating if not diagnosed and treated. Knowing if someone in your family has diabetes could help you learn how at risk you are for it.
Some cancers are passed down genetically as well. The earlier you learn what health condition runs in your family, the better chance you have to live a healthy life. If you have a healthy family, one great way to help is becoming a donor.
