California law requires that your baby have the Newborn Screening Test before leaving the hospital. The simple test requires a small amount of blood being drawn from your baby's heel. The blood is sent to a state-approved lab for testing.
Special needs
If your baby has special needs following delivery, he or she may be cared for in the Intermediate Intensive Care Nursery (IICN) by specialty trained staff. You may visit your baby while he or she is in the IICN as often as you wish. Once your pediatrician releases your baby from the IICN, he or she can join you in your room.
