About the Harvey Institute for Human Genetics

The Harvey Institute for Human Genetics, named for the late Mr. and Mrs. F. Barton Harvey, was endowed in June, 1997.  The Institute provides world-class integrated clinical genetic services in a community-based hospital setting through a highly trained and well-regarded staff, all of whom are board-certified and research-oriented.  We provide diagnostic capabilities, access to state-of-the-art genetic testing, genetic counseling, patient diagnosis and management, and recurrence risks.  Genetics is a field that collaborates with all medical disciplines to develop partnerships with patients and families related to their care. 

Our Team

We provide expertise in reproductive, clinical, pediatric, adult, cancer, and laboratory genetics.  Our staff includes four physicians, board-certified in their primary specialty and in three disciplines of genetics, and three board-certified/eligible genetic counselors.  The registered diagnostic medical sonographers and laboratory technologists are uniformly certified in their field.  Our experienced office staff are able to assist in scheduling appointments, answering insurance questions and collecting records prior to visits when needed.  We also make available genetic education, not only to patients and families, and health-care professionals, but also to the community. 

General Departmental Information

All services are located on the second floor of the GBMC hospital. Emergencies are handled at any time and the covering physician can be reached through the hospital operator.
