FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Cincinnati, OH, February 5, 2012 - The Save Babies Through Screening Foundation (SBTSF), a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating parents about newborn screening, has announced the launch of their brand-new SaveBabies YouTube channel. Their inaugural video is a general overview of the concept of newborn screening and why it's important for parents to make sure it gets done. The goal of the channel is to provide newborn screening information in a way that is effective, easy to understand, and in some cases, even a little bit heartwarming.
The foundation aims to educate parents as a means of achieving the goal of seeing that every baby born in the United States is screened successfully and effectively. Newborn screening helps to prevent disabilities and possible deaths resulting from conditions that are otherwise undetectable at birth. Through simple screening tests, countless babies can be saved and allowed to lead a normal life.
The Save Babies through Screening Foundation encourages you to visit their YouTube channel today. They will be following up the first video with more offerings in the future, as well as with similar efforts making their way to Facebook and Twitter.

About SBTSF
The mission of the SBTSF is to raise awareness about newborn screening and the benefits it provides. Although most states have at least basic screening requirements, many parents are unaware of them. They may also unaware of their rights in requesting screening above and beyond what is normally provided. Through education the foundation hopes to change this so that one day, screening every baby born anywhere in this country will be automatic.
