jscreen and Mathew Forbes Romer Foundation (MFRF) have decided to expand their multi-year partnership to significantly increase genetic education, screening, and awareness in South Florida, according to an announcement. The organizations hope to save lives in the community through promoting health.
They will continue forming engaging programs spanning Religious Institutions, Community Organizations, Academic Campuses, and Physician and Health Networks. The initiative raises awareness around genetic brain diseases, early detection, and family health history. This year, the core message—prioritizing prevention, early testing, and informed decision-making—will be amplified through community-wide activations and accessible testing opportunities for families across South Florida. These efforts are designed to encourage people of all ages to “take control of their future by taking control of their DNA.”
The organizations are hosting a Genetic Testing Event on January 11, 2026 from 7-10 am where anybody can receive reproductive carrier screening and hereditary cancer screening. The theme of the event is “Unzip Those Genes — Your DNA. Your Decisions. Your Future.” Through education, early detection, and clear next steps for care, jscreen and MFRF aim to empower families to make informed health decisions that can impact generations.
