ELLIE
Fifty years before Ellie was born, a major shift in neonatal care began, improving the physical and cognitive health of thousands of babies. In 1963, states started screening newborns for PKU, an inherited metabolic disorder. This change in public health policy would eventually play a key role in protecting Ellie’s quality of life.
