[edit] Background

The Genomedical Connection is a demonstration project funded by the Department of Defense in 2005. Its mission is to create a model that supports proactive healthcare in Guilford County through the use of genomic medicine. Genomic medicine is intended to promote health and prevent disease by using family health history and genetic information to assess a patient's disease risk and to manage health based on risk. The Genomedical Connection's community education is trying to reach Guilford County, which is 400,000+ people.
