From basic checkups to advanced medical exams and specialized care, we believe that underserved communities of color deserve access to culturally relevant genetic healthcare.
Our Mission
Empower BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) and underserved communities to understand their genetic health, make informed healthcare decisions, access essential genetic healthcare services, and connect to culturally relevant care.
Why Color of Genes® Matters
BIPOC and underserved communities too often face delayed diagnoses and limited access to genetic healthcare. At Color of Genes®, we bridge the gap between awareness and care—creating accessible pathways to curated resources and culturally relevant, comprehensive genetic healthcare from expert providers and certified genetic counselors who work alongside your healthcare team to guide your care journey. Our name celebrates the diversity in human genetics and honors who we are and where we come from. Yet, research shows BIPOC and underserved patients are still significantly less likely to be referred for genetic testing for conditions such as breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and Huntington’s disease. We’re committed to changing that.
