About Saint Peter’s University Hospital – Dept. of Medical Genetics & Genomic Medicine
The hospital’s mission is keeping faith with the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church and are guided by the Bishop of Metuchen. Saint Peter’s University Hospital is committed to humble service to humanity, especially the poor, through competence and good stewardship of resources.
We minister to the whole person, body and spirit, preserving the dignity and sacredness of each life. We are pledged to the creation of an environment of mutual support among our employees, physicians and volunteers and to the education and training of healthcare personnel.
We are witnesses in our community to the highest ethical and moral principles in pursuit of excellence and patient safety.
In the month of February, the Department of Genetics celebrates Rare Disease Day by posting “Rare” (disease) facts to the hospital organization in preparation of the last day. We offer trivia questions about our department’s efforts in helping the community we serve and challenge our medical or pediatric residents to clinical genetic questions.
