The mission of the Center is to raise awareness in the Greater Phoenix Jewish community regarding Jewish genetic diseases and to make available educational opportunities about these often-tragic disorders.  Further, the Center provides affordable carrier testing so that no Jewish family in our community will need to endure the grief and suffering of losing a child to a preventable Jewish genetic disease.
