Screening Successes

At the end of June 2019 the Washington newborn screening (NBS) program celebrated a remodel and expansion, which was open to the media, followed by an open house for Department of Health (DOH) staff and partners. After increasing laboratory space and purchasing necessary equipment, the Washington NBS program began testing newborns for additional rare congenital disorders, and plans to add more conditions in the near future.
