The Chicago Center for Jewish Genetic Disorders has been providing education and programming to the Jewish, professional and general communities since 1999. The Center's mission is to empower community members to seek out information and prevention strategies for Jewish genetic disorders and hereditary cancers.
We translate laboratory discoveries into accessible information for the Jewish community, health care providers, rabbis and the general public while striving to raise awareness through education, screening and prevention programs, an information and referral help line, and advocacy. Learn more about who we are, what we do and how you can connect with us online and in person.
Our history explains how the Center was conceived and launched as a public health endeavor by three major Chicago-area organizations.
Our blog keeps you updated on the latest stories, developments and information about science, medicine, people and the Center’s work.
