In Your State
Currently, efforts are under way in most states. Some states are just starting and garnering support for the cause while others have screening laws.
Each state links to a Facebook page, if there is one. After the state, if there’s a bill, that’s notated. After each state, contacts for efforts are listed. If you’d like to get involved, reach out directly to the advocate, even if your state has several names listed. More advocates are always needed and welcome in every state.
Also check the CCHD Screening Map for efforts in each state, including hospitals currently screening:
