Maintaining a family and personal history can be helpful to your health-care providers as they work with you in providing your care. Your family history may help determine diseases for which you are at risk and should receive early screening. A personal history may be useful when you change physicians, travel or track health-related progress. Advance directives help document your wishes today so your family won't have to make heart-wrenching decisions later. Do Not Resuscitate Order
