Regional Treatment Centres

Babies who screen positive for one or more of the diseases tested are referred by Newborn Screening Ontario (NSO) to specialized follow-up centres called "regional treatment centres." If you are trying to locate a specific regional treatment centre, click here to find a follow-up centre.

As a health care provider working at one of these centres, you are responsible for:

• Confirmatory testing of babies who screen positive
• Treatment and management of true positive cases
• Providing follow-up outcome information to NSO
• Education of local health care providers

In this section of our website, you will find helpful resources and communications about newborn screening in Ontario. If you can't find what you are looking for or have any suggestions about how we could better use this section of our website, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Treatment centre bulletins

We send bulletins to regional treatment centres periodically to keep them informed of schedules and major updates. Please contact us if you would like to be added to our distribution list for these communications.
