In the spirit of continual improvement, we’re thrilled to announce a Resource Center upgrade.
Families and professionals often seek information on specific genetics topics, so we've introduced a new "Topics" search that allows you to filter resources based on your unique areas of interest.
Sorting by “Topics” was designed to make navigating the wealth of genetics information more accessible and improve your search results.
Explore the Resource Center today at www.heartlandcollaborative.org/resource-center/.

Thanksgiving is also National Family Health History Day! If you're gathered with your family this Thanksgiving, take the opportunity to learn more about your family's history of health conditions. Being aware of your family's health history can alert you to potential health conditions for which you might have a heightened risk.
Learn more about what questions to ask and why it's important at nationaltoday.com/national-family-health-history-day/#:~:text=National%20Family%20Health%20Histor...
