Greenwood Genetic Center

Our Mission

The Greenwood Genetic Center is a nonprofit institute organized to provide clinical genetic services, diagnostic laboratory testing, educational programs and resources, and research in the field of medical genetics.

Our Vision

The Greenwood Genetic Center will be a Center of Excellence in Medical Genetics, serving as a resource for all persons who need genetic services or information and working to reduce the prevalence and impact of genetic disorders.

With a focus on compassionate patient care and innovative scientific advancement, here at the Greenwood Genetic Center, we keep every patient and their families at the forefront of everything we do. We have five clinic locations to serve patients and their families across the lifespan with a variety of genetic needs and concerns.  

The Future of Medicine 

Genetic knowledge is advancing at a rapid pace, and the Greenwood Genetic Center is proud to be the forefront of clinical care and genetic discovery. Our clinicians provide compassionate, up-to-date care and the latest in diagnostic testing advances. Our diagnostic laboratory faculty are constantly adding new technologies and improving testing methodologies. Our educators are enlightening the next generation of scientists and improving genetic literacy. Our researchers collaborate with GGC clinicians and laboratory faculty, as well as with colleagues around the world, to achieve significant advances in identifying causative genes, understanding disease mechanisms, and developing treatment and prevention strategies for genetic disorders and birth defects.

With a long history of providing genetics services across South Carolina, the United States and the world, the Greenwood Genetic Center is taking bold and deliberate steps into genetic and genomic medicine with a commitment to advancing the diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and cure of genetic disorders. Whether we are exploring ways to treat rare diseases, delivering an answer to a family who has been searching for years, or sharing amazing new career opportunities with high school students, our goal is, and always will be, to serve our patients, families, referring clinicians, and the field of genetics with compassion, innovation, and hope.
