Disasters happen, but babies keep arriving! That's why newborn screening can't take a backseat. It's a quick check that makes a huge difference, especially when things are tough. Let's make sure our little ones are always covered!

Kudos to these NSFs in Regions 1 and 2 for complying and making NBS available in times of adversity. Your commitment makes a lasting impact! 💛💙
