The Advisory Committee represents the interests of North
Dakotans and assists in developing programs that ensure the availability
of and access to quality genetic health-care services by all residents.
The committee advises the North Dakota Department of Health regarding
newborn screening and makes recommendations about the design and
implementation of the newborn screening program. The committee is made
up of representatives of professional groups, agencies, pediatricians,
family practice physicians, consumers and individuals with an interest
in promoting newborn screening services.
The Advisory Committee usually meets two to three times
a year via telephone conference call.
