Our community-based genetics service assures access to genetic counseling for patients and their medical providers in the communities where they live and work, and promotes public awareness of genetics in everyday life. Based in Binghamton, New York, Ferre Genetics was established in 1974 by our late Medical Director, Dr. Murray Nusbaum.

As a non-profit organization, we are dedicated to the education of professionals and consumers on issues of infertility, family building, and genetic risk. Unlike most genetics programs, we are not affiliated with a university or medical center. Rather, we work closely with a dedicated Board of Directors, which includes a Medical Director.

We currently serve 30 counties throughout Upstate New York and provide genetic counseling and testing services, resources, and research for families that would otherwise not be able to access care. Thanks to last year’s campaign, we now have five Certified Genetic Counselors and an expanded internal staff offering both in-person and telehealth appointments.

With your support this Giving Season, we will hire additional Genetic Counselors to serve our ever-growing patient population of families and those suffering from medical conditions. From understanding how family history can play a role in developing hereditary cancers or heart disorders to providing resources pre and post-testing, we help our clients throughout their lifelong genetics journey. With your support, no patient is ever turned away, and they are assured an expert Genetic Counseling evaluation.

Thanks to the support of a generous donor, ALL GIFTS made by the end of this year will be DOUBLED, up to $13,000.00!
