Management Comment “Our innovative technology, advanced analytics, customized genomic reports and genetic counseling offerings coupled with Pediatrix’s vast neonatal clinical experience and expansive coverage across the country set the stage for this arrangement to provide the first comprehensive offering of this type to hospitals and health systems nationwide,” said Jon R. Cohen, M.D., Executive Chairman of BioReference Laboratories and GeneDx. “Our combined network of more than 2,200 affiliated physicians and GeneDx’s more than 100 genetic counselors will make Detect Genomix one of the nation’s largest neonatal genomics platforms,” said Ingrid Vasiliu-Feltes, M.D., MBA, Chief Quality and Innovation Officer at Pediatrix. “Genetic disorders and congenital anomalies are a leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality, and time to diagnosis is a crucial factor in the treatment of the patient. This arrangement is designed to provide Pediatrix-affiliated neonatologists with access to the latest sequencing technology.”
