Birth defects do not
discriminate; mental retardation, neural tube defects, autism, and
other diverse conditions commonly surface at every level of our
society and in every community.
Since 1974, the Greenwood Genetic Center has been
a leader in the delivery of genetic services, committed to:
- Diagnosing genetic conditions
- Counseling individuals and families
- Researching the causes of birth defects
and genetic diseases
- Educating health care providers,
teachers, and the public about genetics
The Greenwood Genetic Center works closely with
the South Carolina Department of Disabilities and Special Needs to
provide diagnostic services, treatment and prevention programs to
reduce the risk and severity of disabling conditions. We are a
cohesive team, determined to break new ground in clinical service,
laboratory and diagnostic testing, educational programs and research
and we intend to lead the way into the 21st century with hope for
every family at risk of genetic disease.
To
this, we pledge our finest efforts, our committed, caring staff and
faculty, and the best resources available.
