Family Health Passport

A printable medical summary for travel — one page you take everywhere

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.

In short:
  1. The Family Health Passport is a printable one-page medical summary pulled from the record — vaccinations, allergies, medications, conditions, emergency contacts.
  2. Print it before any trip. No app needed to read it — anyone (a foreign ER doctor, a hotel medic, a cruise ship nurse) can understand it.
  3. It updates automatically as the record grows. Print again before the next trip and it reflects the latest information.

What goes on a medical summary for travel?

When something goes wrong far from home — a fever in a foreign hotel, an allergic reaction on a cruise, a broken arm at summer camp — the person who helps you needs six things fast:

The Family Health Passport puts all six on one printable page. No app to download. No login to remember. No internet required. Paper works everywhere — including places where your phone doesn't.

Why print instead of relying on the app?

Your phone can run out of battery. Your data plan may not work abroad. A foreign ER doctor may not speak your language well enough to navigate an app. Paper has zero dependencies — hand it over and the information transfers instantly.

The printed summary is a supplement, not a replacement. The full record lives in Family Stork and updates automatically as clinics email new information. But the printed page is the version that works when everything else fails.

How does the summary stay current?

Family Stork builds the passport from the health record. As clinics email visit summaries, lab results, and prescriptions to the person's private Family Stork address, the record updates. The next time you print the passport, it reflects the latest medications, the newest vaccination, the updated emergency contact.

Before every trip: open the record, confirm the emergency contacts are current, and print. That's the entire prep.

What about international travel specifically?

The Family Health Passport is a medical summary for emergency reference — not an official vaccination certificate. Some countries require specific vaccination proof (yellow fever cards, COVID documentation) issued by authorized clinics. The passport supplements those official documents; it doesn't replace them.

What the passport does for international travel:

Always check your destination country's specific entry requirements and consult your doctor about travel-specific health needs.

Common Questions

FAQ

Can I print a separate summary for each family member?

Yes. Every person in the family has their own record and their own passport. Print one per child, one for yourself, one for an aging parent. Each reflects that person's health story.

Does the other person need a Family Stork account to read the printout?

No. The printout is paper. Anyone can read it — a foreign ER doctor, a hotel medic, a cruise ship nurse, a camp counselor. No app, no login, no internet. That's the entire point.

Is this accepted as an official vaccination record for border crossing?

The Family Health Passport is a medical summary for emergency use — not an official government-issued vaccination certificate. For border entry requirements, use the official documents from your vaccination provider. The passport is the supplement you hand to a doctor, not the document you show customs.

How much does Family Stork cost?
