Please note that my office hours may be different from my department's hours of operation.

My name is Johanna Martinezmoles and I am a genetic counselor here at Kaiser. Many people are unclear as to what a genetic counselor does. Genetic counselors are health professionals with specialized graduate degrees and experience in the areas of medical genetics and counseling. Genetic counselors work as members of a health care team, providing information and support to families who have members with birth defects or genetic disorders and to families who may be at risk for a variety of inherited conditions.

I am also a bilingual counselor, speaking Spanish as my second language. When I’m not at work, I enjoy quilting, cross-stitching, traveling and Polynesian dancing. I belong to Halau Aloha Polynesia here in Sacramento. I also enjoy volunteer work through Hands-On Sacramento and speaking at middle schools and high schools about genetic counseling.

Mi nombre es Johanna Martinezmoles y yo estoy una consejero genética aquí en Kaiser. Muchas personas son inciertas acerca de lo que un consejero genético hace. Los consejeros genéticos son los profesionales de salud con los grados graduados especializados y experimentan en las áreas de genéticas médicas y aconsejando. Los consejeros genéticos trabajan como los miembros de un equipo de cuidado de salud, mientras proporcionando la información y apoya a familias que tienen los miembros con defectos del nacimiento o los desórdenes genéticos y a familias que pueden estar en el riesgo para una variedad de condiciones heredadas.

Yo también soy un consejero bilingüe, mientras hablando español como mi segundo idioma. Cuando yo no estoy en el trabajo, yo disfruto acolchando, mientras cruz-cosiendo, viajando y polinesio que baila. Yo pertenezco a Halau Aloha Polynesia aquí en Sacramento. Yo también disfruto el trabajo voluntario a través de las Manos En Sacramento y hablando en las escuelas del medio y escuelas secundarias sobre el aconsejar genético.

An emergency medical condition is also "active labor," which means a labor when there is inadequate time for safe transfer to a Plan hospital (or designated hospital) before delivery or if a transfer poses a threat to the health of the member or unborn child.
