New York Mid-Atlantic Caribbean Regional Genetics Network (DE, DC, MD, NJ, NY, PA, VA, WV)
One of NYMAC’s goals is to ensure that people with diseases with a genetic component have access to the services and care they need in the context of a health home. To that end, NYMAC awards grants for medical home collaborations and development of transition to adult care programs. In addition, we fund emergency planning for continuity of care so that patients and their families have uninterrupted access to clinical services, medications, supplies and medical foods. We are continually looking for new ways to improve this access and we encourage public and private health professionals to work with us on projects and activities as champions and partners.
