If you wish to have Expanded
Newborn Screening, please make this known to your pediatrician
and the nurse in charge of the nursery.
If your birthing hospital
does not currently offer Expanded Newborn Screening, you
can contact us to obtain a screening kit to bring to the
hospital at the time of delivery.
After the Expanded Newborn
Screening sample is drawn, it will need two to four hours
to dry. It is important that you mail the newborn screening
sample to the laboratory as soon as possible.
Please remember
to include: 1. Date of birth of your baby.
2. Date the sample was taken.
3. Name and phone number of your pediatrician.
