Donating your child’s cord blood is simple, safe and secure. The collection process does not hurt the mother or baby and does not interfere with the birthing experience.
This life-giving opportunity only happens at the time of birth. Public cord blood donations can be used for anyone in need and is a powerful medical research tool for fighting devastating chronic and acute diseases. In years past, the technology was not refined and very few stem cell transplants were conducted. Now, thousands of cord blood transplants have been conducted and several hundred clinical trials are underway. Nearly every medical specialty is investigating the healing powers of stem cell therapy. Hundreds of clinical trials are underway investigating the curing effects of cord blood stem cell therapy. Today, most cord blood stem cell transplants in the United States are conducted under clinical trials. It takes many years for the FDA to approve new medical treatments, so we recommend learning more about the successful outcomes of existing clinical research and then make your decision to donate your child’s cord blood.
Lives are being saved all over the world with the use of cord blood derived stem cells. Please don’t throw it away!

In the past, cord blood was considered medical waste and was tossed into the garbage. Researchers have been investigating stem cells for over thirty year and realized the similarities between bone marrow and cord blood stem cells. For this reason, both private and public cord blood storage banks have been playing a key role in this advancement of the medical technology.
