Newborn Screening does save lives by Tiffany Hsieh, Mar 20, 2008 (8:26pm)

Newborn screening allows for early identification and treatment of unapparent but serious conditions. This bill would give grants for increased education about newborn conditions as well as for newborn screening. It would help create national standards for screening programs.
