About Us

The Heartland Family Health History web site is sponsored and maintained by the Heartland Regional Genetics and Newborn Screening Collaborative.  The Heartland Collaborative is a network of genetics and newborn screening (NBS) providers, advocates and other stake holders from Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and South Dakota .  The Heartland Regional Genetics and NBS Collaborative works to improve access to expanded newborn screening, professional and public genetics literacy, equitable access to genetics evaluation, counseling and testing services, and cooperation between neighboring states within the region. We facilitate and promote collaboration, assessment, planning, program development and evaluation, education, research and public policy activities related to these issues.

The Heartland Regional Coordinating Center is the administrative home for the Heartland Collaborative, and the Heartland Family Health History project. The Regional Coordinating Center is physically located in the Section of Medical Genetics at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center in Oklahoma City.
