Impact of Prenatal Screening: NSGC Session and Journal Publication

 

NSGC Educational Breakout Session

Stephanie Meredith, the Medical Outreach Director at the University of Kentucky's National Center for Prenatal and Postnatal Resources, will be speaking alongside colleagues at the NSGC Annual Education Conference session "Challenges of Prenatal Cell-free DNA Screening from the Patient Advocacy Perspective" in Seattle on Saturday, October 1 from 10:15am-11:45am.

GCs Got Talent: Genetic Support Foundation Fundraiser and Talent Show

We will also be performing and giving away free materials at the Genetic Support Foundation Fundraiser and Talent Show at 8pm on Friday evening at Town Hall Seattle (Downstairs at Town Hall, 1119 Eighth Avenue at Seneca Street). Come join us to support another great organization that offers educational resources to patients and providers!

Prenatal Diagnosis Journal Publication

The upcoming NSGC session reflects the issues raised in our article recently published in Prenatal Diagnosis, "Impact of the increased adoption of prenatal cfDNA screening on non-profit patient advocacy organizations in the United States" (fee-based journal). The article shares the challenges patient advocacy groups face in the wake of expanded prenatal screening. The article summarizes the themes raised  by a panel of patient advocacy group (PAG) representatives at a stakeholder symposium held in conjunction with the 2015 annual meeting of the International Society for Prenatal Diagnosis in Washington DC.
