Testimonials from the 2024 APHL Newborn Screening Symposium

"The number of states actively participating in the conference is impressive."

"Overall the best and most relevant conference for lab folks involved in Newborn Screening."

"Long-term Newborn Screening sessions were most helpful but I was able to find all sessions useful in my work. I enjoyed the Sequencing Hope movie very much - it was moving and it showed us the other side of what is occurring with patients and their families."

"The exhibit hall was great this year and the conference center location was excellent."
