The Newborn Screening Program strives for early identification of children at increased risk for selected genetic, infectious, or other congenital disorders. The success of our Program relies on our healthcare provider partners to educate families, collect a suitable specimen and ensure that babies with abnormal test results receive appropriate confirmatory testing and treatment. If you have questions about a specific disorder, please visit our Screened Disorders page. Disorder-specific patient brochures, if available, will be found here.
