This funding is intended to improve health outcomes for newborns and children with disorders identifi ed through newborn screening and will improve access to treatment and follow-up care for babies born in North Carolina. Each year, more than 200 babies in North Carolina are identifi ed with rare genetic or biochemical disorders through newborn screening, which is done through a blood test performed on samples taken from each newborn infant in North Carolina. Studies have shown the importance of early identifi cation and treatment, which can be lifesaving for the most severe cases. The Newborn Screening Follow-up Program, in partnership with the UNC Division of Genetics & Metabolism, ensures babies identifi ed with abnormal newborn screening results receive follow-up care and referrals to the appropriate medical specialists.
