March of Dimes
 


The March of Dimes supports comprehensive newborn screening for all babies in this country, regardless of their place of birth. We urge every state to screen every baby for at least 29 conditions. For each of these conditions, screening has a documented benefit to the child, and a reliable test that enables early detection is available.
