For Doctors & Clinics

Free for your practice. Zero to learn.

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 patient hands you a card with their private Family Stork address. You reply to it with a visit summary, a lab result, or a referral letter — the same way you already email. Family Stork files it into their health timeline. No software to buy, no portal to learn, no integration to build. Learn more on Family Stork →

In short:
  1. Family Stork is free for every clinic, always — the family pays, not the practice.
  2. You email to the patient's private Family Stork address. It files itself. Nothing for your staff to learn.
  3. Family Stork never crosses the line: it organizes records, not care. Always the family's decision, never the doctor's obligation.

How does a clinic use Family Stork?

A family starts their record on Family Stork. Each person — a child, an aging parent, the patient themselves — gets a private email address shown on their record. When the patient comes in, they share that address with you. After the visit, your staff emails the visit summary, the lab order, the referral letter — whatever the patient should have — to that address.

That's it. Family Stork receives the email, reads the attachment, and adds it to the patient's health timeline. The parent can ask questions about it later. The school can get the vaccine record. The new pediatrician across town can see the full history. All from one email you already know how to send.

What does the clinic NOT do?

Family Stork is designed to ask nothing of you beyond what you already do. Here's what the practice never touches:

The line we do not cross

Family Stork organizes health records. It does not provide medical advice, suggest treatments, interpret lab results clinically, or step between the doctor and the patient in any way. The family's record is the family's — they use it to stay organized, ask informed questions, and hand complete records to the next provider. The clinical judgment stays exactly where it belongs: with you.

How does it help YOUR patients?

Parents of young children

Vaccine records, growth charts, well-child visit summaries — all in one place. When school enrollment asks for forms, the parent pulls them from the record instead of calling your front desk.

Adult children of aging parents

Discharge papers, medication lists, specialist referrals — one record shared across siblings. When the family shows up at your office for Dad, the full history is already organized.

New patients

A patient walks in with their Family Stork record instead of a blank intake form. Every prior visit, every medication, every allergy — ready before you ask.

Can I invite a patient to start their record?

Yes. You can suggest Family Stork to any patient — the same way you might suggest a symptom diary or a medication tracker. The patient signs up, gets their private address, and shares it with you when they're ready. Family Stork provides materials clinics can display or hand out. See the clinic resources →

Common Questions

FAQ

Does the clinic pay anything?

No. Family Stork is free for every clinic, always. The family pays $99/year for the full service — or about $10 a month. The clinic's only cost is the time it takes to email a visit summary, which most practices already do.

Is this a patient portal replacement?

No. Family Stork is not a portal. It's the patient's own record — organized from every doctor, every clinic, every hospital into one timeline. Portals belong to the hospital. This belongs to the family. They work alongside each other, not against each other.

What if my EHR already emails visit summaries?

Even better. If your system already emails after-visit summaries, the patient can point that email to their Family Stork address. The record files itself with zero extra work for your staff.

Does Family Stork give medical advice to patients?

No. Family Stork's AI helps families organize, search, and understand their records — but it never diagnoses, never recommends treatments, and never steps between the patient and their doctor. The guidance is always: "ask your doctor."

Can I see the patient's Family Stork record?

Only if the patient shares it with you. The family controls access. They can share a printable Family Health Passport, give you view access, or simply bring the record to appointments on their phone. You never log into Family Stork — you only receive information the patient chooses to share.
