At our second biannual Health Equity Showcase in August, staff came together for exciting conversations about the work we're doing to advance health equity across Minnesota. Amy from the Public Health Lab talked about our recent stakeholder engagement to find out the reason for delays in getting follow-up care for newborns who get a positive result on their blood spot screening test. We found that family awareness of the newborn’s health insurance status, access to transportation, access to appropriate language assistance, access to recommended infant nutrition and supplies, and access to care coordination were the greatest barriers to care for infants needing follow-up from newborn screening. health.state.mn.us/people/newbornscreening/families/screeningbasics.html #MNHealthEquity #HealthEquity #NewbornScreening
