Newborn Screening Program

The Department of Community Health wants to help your baby get an early start on the road to good health. The Newborn Screening Program assures that:

  • all Michigan infants receive newborn screening;
  • infants with positive screening tests have access to treatment, and
  • provides long-term follow-up and monitoring of health outcomes.

    The First Step to Your Baby's Health brochure, available from the Newborn Screening Program, contains information about the program, frequently asked questions, a brief description of the disorders screened, and contact information.

    Parent Consultants are available to answer questions and offer support to families of infants and children who have been diagnosed with the screened disorders. They can be reached by e-mail at
    NBS-Parent@michigan.gov or by calling the toll free number below and requesting a return call.
