Pregnancy, birth and the first year in Nevada, in 14 topics: from who runs maternal and child health to what happens at your newborn's screening.

Newborn Screening

Nevada Newborn Screening Program
The Nevada Newborn Screening Program ensures all babies are screened for certain disorders before they cause serious health problems. Many conditions are not easily recognizable at birth without proper testing. If left untreated, some disorders can cause mental retardation and even death. Newborn screening helps detect issues right after birth. When problems are found early, serious health conditions can be treated and prevented.

Nevada Universal Newborn Hearing Screening Program
The Nevada Universal Newborn Hearing Screening Program ensures that all newborns in the state are screened for hearing loss shortly after birth, using quick and painless methods. Early detection allows for timely interventions such as hearing aids or therapy, promoting healthy language and communication development. Families can also access follow-up care and resources through Nevada’s Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) Program.

For more information about either of these programs, please visit the official Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health.
