NEWBORN SCREENING & SERVICES COORDINATION
Health Promotion & Intervention
OUR PROGRAM
Our goal is to conduct early identification of certain medical conditions in newborns to support healthy development from the very beginning of life. Through timely screening and coordinated follow-up, we connect families with early intervention, medical care, and support services when needed, helping infants get the best possible start and giving families guidance and peace of mind.

COVID-19 Vaccine for Children Under Five
The COVID-19 vaccine is the best way to keep our children safe. The CDC recommends COVID-19 vaccines for everyone six months and older.
Parents and caregivers can now get their children six months through five years of age vaccinated with the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines to better protect them from COVID-19. All children, including those who have already had COVID-19, should get vaccinated.
COVID-19 vaccines are free and available to everyone at no cost.
Parents or caregivers can find available vaccines at vaccinatecnmi.com, by contacting CHCC Immunization at (670) 682-7468, or by speaking with their healthcare provider.
Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP)
WIC participants are automatically eligible for the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP).
The ACP provides a discount of up to $30 per month toward internet service for eligible households and up to $75 per month for households on qualifying Tribal lands.
Eligible households may also receive a one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet from participating providers.
Participants can enroll through a participating broadband provider or directly with the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) using an online or mail-in application.
Learn more about eligibility and enrollment by visiting www.fcc.gov/ACP or calling 877-384-2575.
Please note: Because the ACP provides a discounted broadband service and/or device rather than a direct cash benefit, ACP benefits do not count as income for WIC eligibility determination purposes [7 CFR 246.7(d)(2)(iv)(B)].
