Celebrate National Family Health History Day on the fourth Thursday of November by gathering your family together and learning about each other's health histories! This day was started in 2004 to raise awareness about the importance of understanding one's family health history. Knowing your family health history can help you identify any potential risks for developing certain diseases, and can also be a great way to come together as a family and learn more about each other. So this November, make sure to take the time to celebrate National Family Health History Day and explore your family's medical past.
