Today on #GeneticCounselorAwarenessDay, we delivered a letter to Congress, with nearly 500 signatures, urging inclusion of the #AccesstoGCs Act in year-end legislation to expand Medicare access to genetic counselors. Thank you to all who supported this initiative! #GeneChat

Today we celebrate #GeneticCounselorAwarenessDay! Access to GCs is essential for comprehensive, quality healthcare. 34 U.S. states issue GC licenses, thereby facilitating access. Texas does not yet have GC licensure. Let's change this! @TexasGCs @GeneticCouns

Afternoon sessions at the #AFTD2024EducationConference offered crucial guidance on navigating discussions about genetic FTD within families, information about how lifestyle choices can affect brain health, and the latest advancements in FTD research.

From impactful breakout sessions to insightful presentations, the event provided a unique opportunity to connect, learn, and engage with experts and fellow attendees.

Unbelievable.

@ShaBrainMD @ShaBrainMD was awesome on #LimitlessWithChrisHemsworth! If Chris had met w a GC #iamageneticcounselor before the test, he could have discussed choice to/not to learn APOE, and received anticipatory guidance. Discussing absolute risk is better than relative risk. @GeneticCouns

To my #Alzheimers, #Parkinsons colleagues on #GCAwarenessDay, wonder why pts are challenged to see a genetic counselor? Access issues! Help pts by supporting #AccesstoGCs bill authorizing Medicare to call GCs healthcare providers. https://t.co/Up5YEmYQ70 #GeneChat #HR2144 #S1450

The Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade, meaning the legal right to abortion will disappear in half the country. But abortion itself will not.
