Improving Quality of Life

Compassionate Patient Care

The Greenwood Genetic Center (GGC) team leads with compassion in every encounter we have with you and your family. Together, we’re providing hope – for an answer, for a treatment, and for a cure – to all who are impacted by genetic disorders.

Mission-Driven & Patient-Centered

Serving with Hope and Compassion

Compassion is one of the core values of the Greenwood Genetic Center (GGC). With expertise in rare diseases, our providers understand the challenges faced by families and help provide hope for an answer, a treatment, and a cure.

Through our Precision Medicine Initiative, we’re changing the way genetic care is provided by improving access, analysis, answers, and action.

Founded on Philanthropy

The Greenwood Genetic Center Foundation

The work of the GGC would not be possible without the support of the GGC Foundation. Together with generous donors, we are able to provide funds needed for life-changing research projects, new state-of-the-art lab equipment, and financial support for services for families in need. The GGC Foundation also raises awareness by hosting events to highlight GGC’s life-changing work.
