Content: Krystal Peters, a March of Dimes Mission Mom who lost her daughter following heart surgery, is also a parent who has advocated for this legislations passage. Today is an especially important milestone for March of Dimes mission parents who have suffered personal tragedy due to undiagnosed CCHD, Peters said. Babies are dying every day from undetected heart defects, but we have the knowledge and power to prevent CCHD from taking their lives so soon. Knowing that New York State has mandated a law requiring the 'pulse ox' test to be added to newborn screening means saving lives and spreading awareness. It means hope. This legislation adding CCHD screening through pulse oximetry to the list of conditions that birthing facilities are required to test will take effect in 180 days. When it does, New York will join nearly half of the states in the U.S. that now require this kind of screening. The movement to include this screening was accelerated in September 2011, when the United States Department of Health and Human Services recommended that pulse oximetry screening for CCHDs be added to its list of recommended screening tests for newborns.
