Narrative

Provides comprehensive genetic counseling and diagnostic services. Provides interpretive services for many languages.

Since many of the children treated at MGfC require the care of numerous specialists, the Intake and Triage Coordinator arranges appointments as much as possible to decrease the necessity for frequent trips. Specialists at the hospital understand how important it is to truly listen to parents’ concerns and take the time to fully get to know the child personally, not just focus on the diagnosis. Additionally, the staff works directly with insurance companies to help families get coverage for any necessary, specialized testing. When test results are back, staff have face-to-face reviews to explain them in a way that’s easy to understand. The Feingold Service focuses on collaboration from specialists to provide additional care or address any therapy and educational needs, as well as the social and emotional needs of the entire family.
