With the Family History Project on their minds, about 100 BWH employees gathered Dec. 1 for the return visit of Francis Collins, MD, PhD, director of the National Human Genome Research Institute. Collins, who visited BWH in November for the public launch of the U.S. Surgeon General’s “My Family Health Portrait” tool, returned to BWH to answer questions and demonstrate the Web-based tool. Collins joined Michael Murray, MD, clinical chief in the Division of Genetics; Cynthia Morton, PhD, director of Cytogenetics; Kate Walsh, chief operating officer; Karen Holbrook, Family History Project manager; and John Lew, director of employment services, to answer questions about the Family History Project. For more information on the project, visit www.bwhpikenotes.org or access the “My Family Health Portrait” tool directly at http://familyhistory.hhs.gov
