Newborn Screening On January 28, 2008 Illinois began mandatory screening of all newborns for cystic fibrosis. In conjunction with this legislative breakthrough, The Cystic Fibrosis Center of Chicago initiated its Cystic Fibrosis Newborn Screening Program and Hotline. As a designated Illinois CF expert, Dr. Boas and his staff at The Cystic Fibrosis Center of Chicago developed this program in order to provide the most immediate, comprehensive, and convenient consultation services for patients with positive newborn screens. |
