Infants in CT will now be tested for Cystic Fibrosis

This morning reading my local paper left me surprised to find out that CT was one of two states that had not participated in infant testing for Cystic Fibrosis. However, after a six year grassroots effort by a Bethel couple, Governor Jodi Rell signed into law that infants will now be tested at birth for CF.

I always appreciate the efforts individuals make to improve legislation for the general population.
