DEDICATED TO PROMOTING SMA CARRIER TESTING & EDUCATION
June 2016
The Claire Altman Heine Foundation (CAHF) was formed in 2004 after Claire’s tragic death to implement public health policy to promote pan-ethnic carrier screening for Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). Thanks to the support of donors, collaborators in medicine, public health, and industry, we have achieved this goal. Together, we have made a difference and helped thousands of families.
In memory of Claire, January–October 2004
While “closing” CAHF is bittersweet, we are proud of CAHF’s role in implementing pan-ethnic carrier screening for Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). We will continue to support and further this cause.
Thank you for all your support.
