Comparison

Family Stork vs MyCabinet School Health:
the family's record vs. the school nurse's system.

MyCabinet School Health is a K–12 electronic health record built for school nurses and district administrators. Family Stork is what parents use to keep their child's complete health timeline — every provider, every year, in one place. They solve different problems on different sides of the relationship.

The Core Difference

School-side software vs. family-side record

MyCabinet School Health (at mycabinetschoolhealth.com) is an electronic health record (EHR/EMR) platform for K–12 districts. School nurses use it to manage student health records, track immunization compliance, dispense medications, log nurse visits, and communicate with parents during the school day. Districts buy it. Parents interact with it through a parent portal and mobile app — but only for the data the school holds.

Family Stork is a lifelong health timeline built for families. Every person in the family gets one private @families.familystork.com email address. Any clinic, lab, or hospital emails visit summaries to that address — and the health story builds itself. No portal logins, no uploads, nothing for the clinic to learn. The record belongs to the family, not the school.

One sentence: MyCabinet School Health manages your child's health data at school. Family Stork keeps the complete record — from every provider, every year — with the family.
Side by Side

What each tool is actually built for

MYCABINET SCHOOL HEALTH

School nurse EHR for K–12 districts

Who buys it: School districts and administrators. Proven in one of the nation's largest districts.

What it does: Digitizes student health forms submitted by parents at the start of the school year. Manages medication administration, nurse visit logs, immunization compliance tracking, and health screenings. Connects nurses, parents, and administrators in real time.

Parent access: Parents submit forms and view school-held records through the MyCabinet parent app and web portal. Access is tied to school enrollment.

Compliance: SOC 2 Type 2 certified, HIPAA certified, FERPA compliant.

Scope: One school district. Records stay in the school system. When the child changes districts or graduates, the data doesn't automatically follow.

Enterprise SaaS — purchased by districts, not families.

FAMILY STORK

Lifelong family health timeline

Who buys it: Parents. $99/year or about $10/month.

What it does: Keeps a lifelong health timeline for every person in the family — checkups, vaccines, growth charts, allergies, lab results — across every provider, not just one school.

How records arrive: Each family member gets a private @families.familystork.com address. Clinics email visit summaries to it. Records file themselves — no manual uploads, no portal logins.

School forms: Because the record is always current, filling out any school health form — whether the district uses MyCabinet, Magnus Health, paper, or any other system — takes minutes. You already have everything organized.

Scope: Lifelong. From the first well-child visit through adulthood. Not tied to any one school, district, or provider.

Consumer app — for families, not institutions.

The Real-World Scenario

What happens when school health forms are due

School registration opens. The district uses MyCabinet School Health, so you get a link to the parent portal. You need to upload immunization records, emergency contacts, allergy action plans, medication authorizations, and a physical exam form. The portal is ready for your data — but you still need to have the data.

Without Family Stork: Hunt for the vaccine card. Log into the pediatrician's portal (one password). Call the allergist (different system). Download the lab results from the hospital portal (third password). Assemble everything into the format MyCabinet wants. Two hours, three systems, one headache.
With Family Stork: Every visit summary from every provider arrived automatically via the @families.familystork.com email address. Open the app, pull the records, upload to MyCabinet in one sitting. The heavy lifting was done all year — you just didn't notice.
Why Both Can Exist

MyCabinet is the school's system. Family Stork is yours.

These tools aren't competitors — they serve opposite sides of the same relationship. MyCabinet School Health gives the school nurse what she needs to manage 500 students. Family Stork gives the parent what they need to keep one child's complete story organized across every provider, every school, every year.

If your district uses MyCabinet, you'll still need your child's records from the pediatrician, the specialist, the urgent care visit, and the hospital. MyCabinet holds what you upload to it. Family Stork holds everything — and makes the upload easy.

The Email Mechanic

One address. Every clinic already knows how to use it.

Every person in your Family Stork account gets a private @families.familystork.com email address. When the pediatrician, allergist, or urgent care sends a visit summary, it goes to that address — and the health story builds itself.

No portal login. No upload. Nothing for the clinic to learn — they already know how to send email. The record is complete before you even open the app.

Your child's @families.familystork.com address goes with them everywhere: new school, new district, new state, new doctor. The health story travels with the child, not with the institution.

Family Stork

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 — $99/year, or about $10/month.
