What it does

Existing law, the Holden-Moscone-Garamendi Genetically Handicapped Persons Program, requires the Director of Health Care Services to establish and administer a program for the medical care of persons with genetically handicapping conditions, including, but not limited to, cystic fibrosis, hemophilia, sickle cell disease, and Huntington's disease. The program also provides access to social support services that may help ameliorate the physical, psychological, and economic problems attendant to genetically handicapping conditions, in order that the genetically handicapped person may function at an optimal level commensurate with the degree of impairment.
