About the VaAGC:

The VaAGC is an organization that was developed in the fall of 2007 by a group of genetic counselors representing various regions in Virginia as an outgrowth of conversations begun at recent state meetings. The intended purpose of the organization is to facilitate communication among counselors in Virginia and to serve as a resource for relevant information to the public.

What does a genetic counselor do?

Genetic counselors are master's level health professionals trained in medical genetics to aid patients and their families at risk for hereditary conditions. We provide patients with information about genetic conditions and help them find support resources.
