Center for Personalized Genetic Healthcare
The Cleveland Clinic Center for Personalized Genetic Healthcare helps individuals determine their personal risk for diseases that may run in their family, or their risk for passing a disease or medical condition on to their children. It is a comprehensive program that includes diagnostic evaluation, testing, counseling, education and referral services.

Our History
In 2005, Dr. Charis Eng came to the Cleveland Clinic and launched the Genomic Medicine Institute (GMI). GMI serves as the expert base for investigation and practice of genomic medicine by being a single platform for research, clinical care and outreach/education ultimately directed at genomic-based personalized genetic healthcare. The clinical branch of the GMI is the Center for Personalized Genetic Healthcare (CPGH). Presently, the CPGH is staffed by five geneticists and twelve genetic counselors, with plans for further expansion.
Mission Statement
The CPGH Program strives to achieve excellence in all areas of medical genetics including:
- Providing world-class care to all who need and desire a medical genetics consultation
- Acting as a resource for the community and other health professionals through educational speaking engagements
- Advancing knowledge of medical genetics through continued learning and contributing to knowledge in the field by participation in research
- Preparing all students who receive education through the program to care for those with genetic conditions as well as their families
