Jupiter Medical Center (JMC) announced it will begin providing patients with continuously updated genetic counseling data through an innovative new partnership with My Gene Counsel, a digital health company specializing in scaled genetic counseling and testing. This collaboration marks a pioneering step for Jupiter Medical Center, as it becomes the first clinical site in the region to integrate digital tools for all current and past patients who have been seen for genetic counseling.

The initiative will begin serving all patients at Jupiter Medical Center. My Gene Counsel’s Living Lab Report will provide JMC patients with updated genetic counseling information as new disease details are discovered, precision medicines are developed, guidelines evolve, and genetic variants are reclassified.

Rogerio C. Lilenbaum, MD, FASCO, SVP and Chief Physician Executive and Director of The Anderson Family Cancer Institute emphasized the importance of this program: “This project is not just a step forward in cancer care; it’s a leap. By integrating My Gene Counsel’s Living Lab Report, we are poised to transform the standard of care, offering more patients the option to pursue genetic counseling and testing and supporting them for years with updating information relevant to their condition. Our commitment to equity and expanding access to these critical services reflects our dedication to the health and well-being of our community as well as our long- term commitment.”
