Join genoME® to learn about your health and how to protect it.
Signing up for genetic screening at no cost through Memorial Hermann genoME® can help you learn about your genetic risk for certain health conditions and what you can do to stay healthy.
The more you know about your health, the more you may be able to do to protect it. That’s what the genoME® community health research program is all about. At the intersection of science and caring, Memorial Hermann is using genetic screening to help pinpoint potential health issues that could impact your health in your lifetime—or your children’s. Developed through the strategic collaboration between Memorial Hermann and our genomics partner Helix , this community health research program, aims to uncover important information about your DNA. This may include helping to understand or predict how your body responds to diseases, and medications, or if you’re at risk for certain cancers or heart disease. By utilizing this information, our aim is to help prevent or combat disease, so you and others may be able to live a healthier life.
