The Connecticut Newborn Screening Program
Purpose
The Connecticut Newborn Screening (CT NBS) Program works to assure that every newborn, who is born or resides in Connecticut, has a valid newborn screening on record and that those infants with abnormal screening results are promptly referred to a specialty treatment center for further evaluation and treatment when needed. These comprehensive efforts help prevent unnecessary disability and premature death.
