Cord Blood

Why Bank Cord Blood?

Cord blood has already saved thousands of lives including the life of Keegan Doheney - watch his video now

Banking your baby's cord blood gives you the power to:

* Protect your family. Your baby's umbilical cord blood is rich in lifesaving stem cells that could protect your baby or other family members.


* Treat nearly 70 diseases, including leukemia, other cancers, and blood disorders.

* Benefit from emerging treatments. Doctors are developing stem cell treatments for heart disease, juvenile diabetes, brain injury, and more.

* Secure the best treatment option. Having access to your own family's cord blood has been shown to significantly improve outcomes compared to using cord blood from an unrelated donor.

* Take advantage of your one chance. Birth is the only opportunity to save your baby's cord blood. Otherwise, it is thrown away.
