Welcome to Heartland Genetics
Welcome!
The Heartland Regional Genetics Network (HRGN) was a group of genetics and newborn screening providers, researchers, industry representatives, public officials, and advocates from Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and South Dakota.
This website provides information and resources for professionals, families, and collaborators to facilitate the understanding of genetics and communication. Heartland encourages you to use the resources contained in this site.
Our Videos
We offer a collection of genetic testing-related videos in English, Spanish, and Marshallese. These videos educate and prepare families by providing resources to help them navigate their unique genetic testing journey.
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Carol Kay Johnson. Carol was a remarkable force within HRGN, serving as a key member of the NBS Work Group since its beginning. Her dedication to the NBS program, both in Iowa and nationally, impacted countless lives.
Carol’s warmth, creativity, and compassion touched everyone around her. Her kind heart and passion will be profoundly missed. We extend our condolences to her family and friends and honor her incredible legacy.

We have reached an important chapter in our story. While the grant that supported our services has ended, the relationships we’ve built do not. The bonds we’ve formed, the lessons we’ve learned, and the work we’ve accomplished together cannot be undone.
We invite you to watch our video, "What Heartland Means to Me," a heartfelt reminder of everything we’ve achieved as a community and that this isn’t goodbye, it’s "Until our paths cross again."
Our website and YouTube channel have been updated and will remain available in the foreseeable future, offering genetics-related resources.
Thank you for being a part of this incredible community. We encourage you to carry our spirit of inclusivity and remember, “There’s always room for one more.
Watch and share the video at youtu.be/lls8CAGm6vs.
