We Asked, You Answered: What You Have to be Thankful For

We’re on the cusp of the Thanksgiving holiday tomorrow, and for many of us that means family traditions of turkey, family gatherings, and football. It may also provide people with an opportunity to ponder and reflect what they are thankful for. We asked members of the extended Scleroderma Foundation community that question, and here are their responses.

National Family History Day, 2007

Acting Surgeon General Steven K Galson, M.D., M.P.H., has declared Thanksgiving 2007 to be the fourth annual National Family History Day. Over the holiday or at other times when families gather, the Surgeon General encourages Americans to talk about, and to write down, the health problems that seem to run in their family. Learning about their family's health history may help ensure a longer, healthier future together.
