Dr. Yang’s story

As an internist and a pediatrician, Dr. Yang understands just how important genetics are when it comes to health care. She decided to participate in myGenetics to learn more about any hereditary health risks in her family and to find out more about her Hmong heritage. What she learned empowered her to take more control over her health.

This study is open to new and established HealthPartners and Park Nicollet patients who are 18 and older, have not received a stem cell transplant or a bone marrow transplant from a donor, and are able to complete an in-person visit to provide a blood or saliva sample. You can join myGenetics with your HealthPartners online account. If you don’t have an online account with us, you’ll need to create one in order to join.
