Health Resources and Services Administration

Description

Each RC will serve effectively as a regional center to: expand and improve newborn screening and genetic services for individuals affected or at risk for heritable disorders and their families; translate genomic medicine into health care delivery systems; and assist states in strengthening their capacity to provide genomic information and services to the public. The RC will continue to undertake a regional approach to address the maldistribution of genetic resources, with focus on reducing disparities among different socioeconomic, racial, ethnic and rural groups. Strategies to address underserved populations include collaboration with other HRSA initiatives, such as MCHB Title V services and other MCHB programs for the hemoglobinopathies, hemophilia and autism, as well as community-based services, medical home implementation, transition for youth and young adults, and health insurance and financing.
