Why Bank Cord Blood?

According to a recent study, as many as 1 in 200 people may need a stem cell transplant in their lifetime.

But what if you had the opportunity to save stem cells, and store them until they are needed? That’s the reason thousands of families are banking their baby’s cord blood stem cells. By saving these stem cells immediately after your child’s birth, you can store a valuable resource that:

• Has the ability to treat more than 80 diseases like cancer, genetic disorders and immune deficiencies, and save lives
• Is a promising treatment for other disorders like cerebral palsy and diabetes
• Offers a better treatment option since cord blood stem cells from related donors have been shown to have better outcomes than those from unrelated donors
• Is a unique opportunity—you have only one chance, during your child’s birth, to save and store these valuable cells.
• Can help protect your entire family since these stem cells can protect your baby as well as other family members
• Is an accepted source of valuable stem cells supported by leading organizations
