State Genetics Plans guide the future of genetic health care and services in the state. Each plan offers policy makers, genetic stakeholders, and consumers an overview of the history and current direction of clinical genetic services. They also outline a strategy to support further genetic and public health collaboration and to ensure quality, comprehensive genetic health care, education, diagnosis, treatment, and support services. Many focus on integrating newborn screening and other genetic services into the health services system and state information systems.
Most plans are based on recommendations from the Agenda for Healthy People 2010 and the National Newborn Screening Task Force.
