Florida Newborn Screening Program
Your baby is precious and, as a new parent, you want to do everything you can to keep your baby safe and healthy. One thing you can do is make sure your baby gets newborn screening tests before you both leave the hospital.
Newborn screening is a set of tests done to see if your baby has certain disorders. Newborn Screening tests your baby's blood for different diseases and conditions. Newborn Hearing Screening checks to see if your baby has any hearing problems. Early detection and treatment of health issues can help your baby grow up healthier.
These tests are an important beginning of a long, healthy life for your baby.
