With a simple blood test, find out if you’re at risk for passing on a debilitating, if not fatal, genetic disorder.

If you’re thinking about starting a family, now’s the time to learn your risk – and your options.

Subsidized carrier testing is $90 per person or $36 for students. These tests usually cost over $3,000!

Dinner and an educational presentation will be followed by a genetic screening for the following nine disorders:
