Why You Should Learn Your Family Health History

Hospice Quinte: Changing Lives Podcast

It’s a common turn of phrase for someone to say that something “runs in their family”. Typically they’re referring to a personality trait or a physical feature. However this can also frequently refer to medical conditions.
With November 26th being National Family Health History Day, let’s look into why it’s important to learn your medical history, and how one goes about doing so on this week's episode of "Changing Lives".
