The SACHDNC is crucial to the ongoing public deliberations over newborn screening as it is the only national venue where parents can contribute their first-hand experiences and perspectives. Closing of the Committee at this juncture would have disastrous results as it is midway through important deliberations regarding Pompe Disease. The findings of these deliberations may be crucial to preventing needless loss of life in infants across the country. Any lapse of the Committee’s activities could literally be the difference between life or death, so it is vitally important that it’s term be extended until Congressional reauthorization occurs.

We encourage the participation of any concerned individuals by signing this important petition. Please visit the link below to access the petition:
