Medical Outreach Alliance

& New Family Support

The overarching goals of our Medical Outreach Alliance and New Family Support programs
are to provide pregnant and new parents with compassionate and up-to-date information,
resources, and support that they need when confronted with a new diagnosis, and to help
educate the medical community, who has the first contact with these families.

Last year, DSCBA embarked on an expanded outreach campaign to Bay Area medical
professionals. Over the past two years, we have contacted more than 2,000 pediatricians
through a listing provided to us by the Global Down Syndrome Foundation. This resulted in
a dramatic expansion of the reach of our program, with many more medical professionals
being reached, as well as more families discovering DSCBA and utilizing our services, which
is reflected in many of our activity numbers.
