We’re attending the #SCOPESummit next week and look forward to insightful discussions on the opportunities and challenges in clinical trial recruitment. Interested in exploring ways to improve patient identification and recruitment for rare disease clinical trials? Let’s connect! Send a direct message to Sara Riordan to set up a time to meet. See you there! https://lnkd.in/g9N7SgA #ClinicalTrials #RareDisease #PatientAccess

This is a fantastic CEU opportunity for genetic counselors looking to amplify their strategic planning and critical thinking skills! Excited to see Genome Medical's Sara Riordan sharing her expertise alongside an impressive lineup of speakers.

We’re excited to announce our new partnership with Nest Genomics (YC W22)! This collaboration is a major step forward in scaling access to genetic services, improving decision-making and enhancing patient outcomes. Through this partnership, providers can effortlessly connect their patients to Genome Medical’s experts via the Nest platform, for genetic test ordering, medical consultations and genetic counseling. Together, we’re making it easier than ever for patients and providers to access genetic services and integrate actionable insights into care. View press release: https://lnkd.in/g7WWyadb

We are excited to announce our new partnership with Xeris Pharmaceuticals, Inc., aimed at supporting people living with Primary Periodic Paralysis, a rare condition that causes episodes of muscle weakness and paralysis. Through Xeris’s Uncovering Periodic Paralysis Program, patients gain access to expert pre- and post-test genetic counseling from Genome Medical. These services provide patients a deeper understanding of the condition, the benefits and limitations of genetic testing and their results, paving the way for potential therapy opportunities. We commend Xeris for empowering individuals with the knowledge and support needed to navigate this rare condition and improve their quality of life! 

📢This week at Genome Medical we announced a strategic pivot to focus our services on rare disease. The unmet need is vast and urgent - patients and families facing rare diseases encounter significant barriers in achieving a diagnosis and accessing treatments. And we believe our expertise can make a profound difference! Here’s how: 1️⃣ Fast-Tracking Diagnosis: Rare disease patients often endure a diagnostic journey averaging 5-7 years, and >80% of rare diseases have a genetic component. With our nationwide telemedicine platform, patients gain direct access to expert genetic counseling and medically appropriate testing, significantly reducing time to diagnosis. 2️⃣ Ensuring Equitable Access: No matter where patients live, our virtual model delivers high-quality genetics expertise. This ensures care reaches underserved and remote communities, often disproportionately affected by the challenges of rare diseases. 3️⃣ Empowering Patients and Families: We collaborate with life sciences organizations and healthcare providers to educate patients and families about clinical trial opportunities, enhancing access to innovative treatments and fostering a sense of hope and agency. In the coming months I’ll be attending the #SCOPESummit, the American College of Medical Genetics Meeting and World Orphan Drug Congress USA. I’d love to connect about collaboration and partnership opportunities - together we can do more!  #RareDisease #Telemedicine #GeneticCounseling

Today, we’re excited to announce that Genome Medical is pivoting to focus primarily on supporting rare disease patients. As part of our continued mission to improve lives through precision medicine, we are intensifying our commitment to helping individuals and families navigate the complexities of rare and genetic conditions. By concentrating our efforts on rare diseases, we aim to provide even more specialized care, counseling, and genetic insights to those who need it most. This shift allows us to leverage our expertise in genomics to offer tailored solutions and empower patients on their healthcare journeys. Read the full press release here: https://lnkd.in/gFMcXkdd Thank you to all of our partners, patients, and supporters who have been part of this journey with us. We are excited about the path ahead and the impact we will continue to make in the rare disease space!

Access is one of the biggest barriers to healthcare in rural areas. Example: One regional cancer center in Eastern North Carolina was struggling to keep up with the increasing demand for genetic services among its diverse and dispersed patient population. Read what they did to eliminate its growing backlog and long wait times for patients needing genetic services. https://lnkd.in/gRMVCymY #genetics

When a 13-year-old girl presented with an unusual ophthalmologic finding associated with a rare inherited genetic disease, her pediatrician turned to Genome Medical's Peer-to-Peer services for support. What happened next supported not just the girl, but her mother as well. Learn more in this case study. https://lnkd.in/gD3ndyjH #raredisease #genetics
