Nevada Newborn Screening Program
Nevada State Public Health Laboratory
The Nevada Newborn Screening Program ensures all babies are screened for certain disorders before they cause serious health problems. Many conditions are not easily recognizable at birth without proper testing. If left untreated, some disorders can cause mental retardation and even death. Newborn screening helps detect issues right after birth. When problems are found early, serious health conditions can be treated and prevented.
