Reshaping the Future of Healthcare– Genetic Screening with Emily Goldberg of JScreen

On this episode of Her Health Compass, Heather and Yonni explore something with the potential to reshape the future of healthcare — genetic screening. Many people assume genetics only matter when there’s a strong family history of disease, but advances in screening show that understanding your genetic risk can guide prevention, early detection, and even life-saving decisions.

Heather and Yonni are joined by Emily Goldberg of JScreen, a national nonprofit providing accessible genetic testing and education. Together, they dive into how genetic screening actually works, who should consider it, and what your DNA can reveal about risks for hereditary conditions like breast cancer. They also unpack the biggest misconceptions about genetic testing — and how knowing your genetics can empower listeners to take real control of their health.

Emily Goldberg serves as the Director of Genetic Counseling Services at jscreen, where she is dedicated to helping individuals understand and manage their genetic health. With dual bachelor’s degrees in biology and psychology from Brandeis University and a master’s degree in Human Genetics from Sarah Lawrence College, Ms. Goldberg has been a certified genetic counselor since 2011. Prior to joining jscreen, she worked at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, specializing in prenatal and cancer genetics. In addition to her role at jscreen, Ms. Goldberg is committed to education, serving as an Instructor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and adjunct faculty at Sarah Lawrence College, where she teaches and mentors future genetic counselors. Her expertise and dedication make her a key member of the jscreen team
