Parents of Galactosemic Children, Inc is a non-profit, national organization. Founded in February 1975 by a small group of mothers in New York, PGC realizes the need for further information and networking between affected families and professionals. Metabolic Clinics across the nation continue to assist PGC in researching families and information.
