The Feingold Center for Children (now The Feingold Service at Mass General for Children) was established in 1982 to provide diagnosis and treatment to children born with genetic disorders, rare diseases, and challenges throughout the New England area. The Feingold Model of Coordinated Care exists to offer coordinated care, bettering the lives of the patients, and easing the difficulties caregivers experience after receiving a diagnosis of a genetic disorder or rare disease.

- Those who have had genetic testing or screening previously and need additional information or education in understanding those results.
- Couples wishing to learn more about assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF).
- Women who will be 35 years of age or older at the time of delivery.
- Parents who have concerns about exposures to medications, drugs, alcohol, chemicals, or other agents during pregnancy.
- Couples with infertility or multiple pregnancy losses.
- Couples who would like pre-conceptual counseling before pursuing pregnancy either naturally or via reproductive technology.
