FUNDER

GSF has been awarded grant funding for a 5-year project through the Healthy Tomorrow Partnership for Children Program (HTPCP). This is a HRSA-funded program and partnership between the Maternal Child Health Bureau and American Academy of Pediatrics. The HTPCP “supports innovative, community-based initiatives to improve the health status of infants, children, adolescents and families in rural and other underserved communities by increasing their access to preventive care and services.”

PROJECT

Funding awarded through the HTPCP is supporting the expansion of our outreach and genetic counseling services throughout the Pacific Northwest (Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Alaska). Specifically, this project is funding community outreach, provider education, resource development, and no-cost genetic counseling in these states. Through these initiatives, we are aiming to increase access to genetic counseling services and resources in the Pacific Northwest with a focus on care for children and their families, pregnant individuals, and individuals planning to become pregnant.

TIMELINE

The HTPCP is actively funding this project with a grant period of March 2023 to February 2028.
