Every person gets one health story, and one private Family Stork email address every clinic already knows how to use. Tired of managing health records for yourself and everyone you love? Family Stork organizes them for you automatically.
A family of four with a grandparent sees an average of eight to twelve healthcare providers. Each one runs a different patient portal with a different login. The pediatrician uses one system; the allergist uses another; the hospital has a third. Mom's OB is on MyChart; Dad's knee surgeon is on FollowMyHealth. Grandma's cardiologist mails paper summaries.
The records are everywhere. The binder worked when there were three pages in it. The phone folder worked until the sixteenth photo of a form you can't read at arm's length. The spreadsheet worked until nobody updated it for six months.
The real problem is not that families are disorganized. The real problem is that every provider stores records in their own silo, and nobody offers a way to collect them all in one place — automatically.
You print, photograph, or download every record. You file it by person, by date, by type. It works — until you skip one visit. Then two. Then the school asks for a vaccine record and you're digging through 400 camera-roll photos from the last three years.
The binder requires you to do all the work: collect, sort, label, store, retrieve. For one child, manageable. For a family with an aging parent, two kids, and your own records — it does not scale.
Each portal holds what that hospital has on file. It is the hospital's view of you — not your complete medical history. Switch providers and the old portal's records stay behind. See a specialist outside the network and the visit doesn't appear. Take your child to urgent care on vacation and the record exists only in another system you may never log into.

Family Stork flips the model. Instead of pulling records from ten different portals, you give each person's private email address to every provider. The pediatrician emails the visit summary. The lab emails the results. The hospital emails the discharge papers. Each record lands on the right person's timeline and files itself — no login, no download, no data entry.
The clinic doesn't need to install software or join a network. Clinics already email records every day — they just need an address to send them to. That's the address shown on each person's Family Stork record.
Your child's first year generates more medical records than any other — well-baby visits, vaccines, growth measurements, the newborn screening, the hearing test. Start the record at birth and every visit after that files itself.
When school asks for the immunization record, it's already there. When camp needs a physical form, you pull it from one timeline — not three portal logins. When your child turns eighteen, you hand them a complete health history they actually own.

Your parents' records are scattered across every doctor they ever had. The cardiologist. The orthopedist. The hospital where they had surgery eight years ago. The primary care doctor who retired last year.
Start by asking each current provider to email records to your parent's private Family Stork address. Then work backward: request records from past providers (they're required to provide them under HIPAA). The timeline fills in — one record at a time, one email at a time.

You probably haven't thought about organizing your own records until you needed them: switching insurance, moving, seeing a new specialist, getting a second opinion. The records you need are split across every provider you've seen in the last decade.
One timeline, one email address, one place where everything lives. When the new doctor asks for your history, you share the timeline — not a stack of portal PDFs you downloaded at midnight.
The after-visit summary that comes home in the backpack. The vaccine card in the kitchen drawer. The prescription printout your mom keeps on the fridge. These don't arrive by email — but they still belong in the record.
Take a photo. Family Stork's AI reads the document, extracts the data, and files it on the right person's timeline. One snap, no typing. The paper can go in the recycling — the data is on the timeline.
$99/year for the full service, or about $10/month. Free forever to organize on your own. One account covers every person in the family — each person gets their own private email address and their own timeline.
Yes. The private @families.familystork.com address works with any provider who can send email — pediatricians, hospitals, labs, specialists, urgent care clinics, therapists. No special software or network membership required. Clinics already email records; they just need the address.
Start by giving the private email address to every current provider. For past records, request them under HIPAA — providers are required to give you copies. As records arrive by email, each one files itself on the timeline. The scattered-portal problem goes away over time.
Family Stork organizes health records. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice. Always consult your doctor or pediatrician for medical decisions. For medical emergencies, call 911.
FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) pulls records from provider systems that support the standard. It works well when your providers are connected — but many small practices, urgent cares, and specialists are not in the FHIR network. The email mechanic works with any provider, regardless of which electronic health record they use. FHIR sync vs email mechanic — a deeper look →
