Help save babies by telling your story.
Help raise screening awareness by sharing your story in a word of mouth awareness campaign. The next time you see any of your friends, family, neighbors, co-workers or anyone who is expecting a baby, tell them about the need for supplemental newborn screening and use of overnight services to transport their child’s NBS specimen. Then ask them to tell someone, too!  This will ensure the message never ends.  Learn more about this important campaign.
