General Info

GENASSIST, Incorporated, a woman owned and operated genetics company, was created like so many companies...out of necessity. Prior to GENASSIST, the number of patients who had access to genetic information was severely limited. In addition, test results took weeks to return so that the information that the patient received was not timely. With a background in hospital administration, in 1983, Hildegarde S. Wexler, the founder and owner, created GENASSIST to ensure that any and all pregnant women would be able to receive the necessary genetic services that they required in a reliable, cost-effective, and timely manner.
