Today we celebrate the Clinical Genetics Program team at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre. Each year, they care for about 800 patients across Northwestern Ontario — from the Manitoba border to Wawa, including 69 northern First Nations communities.

Genetic counsellors are health professionals specially trained in medical genetics and counselling. They help individuals and families understand how genetics may affect their health, explore testing options, and provide guidance and support for informed decisions.

The TBRHSC team includes two master’s-trained certified genetic counsellors, a genetic assistant, a genetics coordinator, and a medical advisor, offering care through in-person, phone, and videoconference appointments.

Join us in thanking our Clinical Genetics Program for their dedication and compassion in supporting the health of our region!
