Newborn Screening

The California Newborn Screening (NBS) Program is a public health program that screens all babies for many serious but treatable genetic and congenital disorders in the following disorder groups: endocrine, hemoglobin, metabolic, cystic fibrosis, severe combined immune deficiency, and neuromuscular. The Newborn Screening Program Area Service Center (ASC) at Harbor-UCLA, designated by the Genetic Disease Screening Program of the California Department of Public Health, facilitates the prompt diagnosis and treatment of infants identified by screening to be at risk of having one of the screened for disorders. The ASC at Harbor-UCLA serves the southern portion of Los Angeles County and all of San Bernardino County.
