Did you know newborns get a special health check? 👶It's called newborn screening, and September is Newborn Screening Awareness Month! This quick test uses a heel stick, hearing screen, and oxygen check to find serious but treatable conditions. Catching things early is a big deal—it leads to faster treatment and better health outcomes for babies.

¿Sabía que a los recién nacidos les deben hacer una revisión de salud especial? 👶Se llama cribado neonatal, ¡y septiembre es el Mes de Concientización del Cribado Neonatal! Esta prueba rápida utiliza una punción en el talón, una prueba de audición y una verificación de oxígeno para detectar afecciones graves pero tratables. Detectar las afecciones a tiempo es muy importante: permite un tratamiento más rápido y mejores resultados en la salud de los bebés.
