DNA Day
Since its inception in 2003, DNA Day has been recognized nationally on an annual basis. It is celebrated as a national day to recognize the discovery of the double helix and the completion of the mapping of the human genome. In Illinois, DNA Day has been celebrated as a day to recognize the importance of genetic health. The annual DNA Day Project in Illinois provides statewide education and outreach to public health staff and patients, with a focus on the importance of family health history and newborn screening.
This year, the theme of DNA Day is The Importance of Online Family Health History Tools in Your Practice.
