The Mailroom is the first department at BWH where all staff completed their family histories with the U.S. Surgeon General's "My Family Health Portrait" Web-based tool. BWH Family History Project staff held two sessions with Mailroom staff to answer questions about the tool and help employees complete their family histories online. Now, all Mailroom participants have copies of their family medical histories saved on CD, which they may choose to share with their primary care doctors, helping them to get the best care possible. "It was both fun and informative," Ann Haley, Mailroom manager, said.
Family History Project staff are available to meet with departments and groups to answer questions about the project and provide assistance in using the tool. If you would like to set up a meeting, e-mail Karen Holbrook, project coordinator, at kholbrook1@partners.org. Visit www.bwhpikenotes.org/familyhistoryproject/introduction.asp for more information.
