Helpful National Resources:
Very few families who have loved ones with Down syndrome live in an area where they can visit a Down syndrome specialty program like the one at Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School. It is known that most hardworking primary care physicians have only one or two patients with Down syndrome in their practice, so it is both unreasonable and impractical to expect them to stay current on all of the healthcare recommendations for this unique population.
That is why Massachusetts General Hospital, MassGeneral Hospital for Children, and Harvard Medical School Teaching hospital have created Down Syndrome Clinic to You (DSC2U) to bring the best of health and wellness information about Down syndrome to caregivers and primary care physicians around the globe. They believe that location and personal finances should never prevent someone from accessing the best and most timely medical information for a loved one with Down syndrome.
