ABC’s of Disease – Information Optimizes Outcome

GenAssist™ ABC's

I have learned over the past 25 years working for a medical genetics company that when a patient(s) gets a test result [i.e. his/her baby has been diagnosed with Down Syndrome, his/her father was recently diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s (ALS) disease or the patient is told she/he has breast cancer or prostate cancer respectively, the patient(s) just wants information and they want it now!

I am a Facilitator of Information: Timely Information Optimizes Outcome

On an average day, we get between 50 and 100 “cold calls” from patients all over the country and lately from all over the world, that are being told that they will have to wait weeks or months before they will be able to meet with a “specialist” (i.e. Disease Specialist, Geneticist, Genetic Counselor, Medical Doctor etc..) who will talk with them or help them gather enough information to pave an educated road map for their care and/or treatment.
