Amy Albright, MS, CGC

Genetic Counseling Manager

Amy joined the Clinic for Special Children in 2021 as a Genetic Counselor and was promoted to Genetic Counseling Manager in 2026. In her role, she assists in new patient triage and intake, provides genetic counseling services, and manages the logistics of the molecular diagnostics service. Amy also focuses on streamlining our genetic counseling operations among the clinical and laboratory teams and building genetic counseling operations alongside our strategic goals.

Before joining the Clinic staff full-time, Amy interned at the Clinic in her second year of graduate school. Her graduate thesis project was on Plain community perceptions of the Plain Insight Panel™. Joining the Clinic was like coming home for Amy, as she grew up in Lancaster County. In her free time, Amy enjoys discovering new hiking spots in Lancaster and crafting.

Why are you passionate about the Clinic?
It is a privilege to serve the Plain community alongside such a devoted team. The staff at the Clinic centers their practice and research around the families they serve, using the most cutting-edge technology to make genetic discoveries that will meaningfully impact the lives of patients. I am honored to be able to use my skills to help this unique and wonderful community.
