Ferre Institute is a non-profit organization devoted to quality services in genetics and reproductive health. In keeping with our mission and dedication to providing services in these areas we have developed the following community-based programs:
The Community Genetics Program This program serves patients of all ages at its offices in Binghamton, the Mohawk Valley and the North Country, as well as providing consulting and educational services nationwide.
Pregnancy Risk Network (PRN) The PRN is a free phone counseling service based in Binghamton, NY providing teratogen information services to pregnant women and health professionals. A teratogen is any agent or illness that may negatively impact fetal development during pregnancy. Alcohol, drugs/medicines, envionmental hazards, etc. are all examples of teratogens. The PRN takes a detailed history about the exposure, and provides risk assessment information based on the most current reliable medical research available.

More specifically we make available, to couples experiencing problems bearing a child, resources for treatment and resolution of infertility, and adoption options. Professional resources include training in infertility and related reproductive health issues. Please visit: www.infertilityeducation.org
