Pleased to announce partnership with Save Babies Through Screening Foundation

Friday, January 20th, 2012

 

The mission of the Save Babies Through Screening Foundation is to improve the lives of children and their families, by working to prevent disabilities and death resulting from disorders detectable through newborn screening tests.

The Foundation’s goal is to see that every baby born in the United States is screened successfully, effectively, and comprehensively.

Save Babies Through Screening Foundation educates parents, pediatric healthcare providers, and policy makers about available comprehensive newborn screening, the importance of obtaining positive or other test results requiring follow-up actions within 5 days of birth, and the importance of prompt confirmatory testing and treatment/management when needed.

WSAID is very pleased to announce this partnership. We are sure this collaboration will make a significant and positive impact in the lives of many babies and families.   Please visit the foundation’s website for more information on newborn screening:
