NEWBORN SCREENING

Government regulations require all newborn babies to be screened for various genetic and metabolic conditions. Your newborn child will most likely have this test in the hospital after birth and before you are discharged home, except if you decline to have the test done.

Find below various sources of information regarding this important process. If you have any questions or concerns, please call your Pediatrician, or contact our office.
