PUBLIC CORD BLOOD DONATION

Cord for Life® Foundation, Inc. helps save the lives of people with life-threatening illness by offering the highest-quality cord blood collection services available. Expectant mothers have the opportunity to save someone's life who may need a stem cell transplant by simply donating their child's cord blood, a simple and painless process. Medical providers have the unique opportunity to educate and assist their clients in this wonderful gift.
According to the National Marrow Donor Program®, an estimated 45,000 to 50,000 stem cell transplants (bone marrow, PBSC, or cord blood) are performed annually worldwide to treat patients with life-threatening malignant and non-malignant diseases. As science is continuing to discover new uses for stem cells in health recovery and regenerative medicine this number is likely to significantly increase.
UCB stem cells are not the same as Embryonic stem cells. Today, cord blood stem cells are successfully and routinely being used and have been saving lives for over 20 years.
Donating cord blood increases the chances that patients who might benefit from stem cell transplant are able to have one quickly.
Cord Blood Banking is a routine process. It's quick, easy and painless and happens after the birth of your newborn baby. So, why not "pay it forward" and help someone in need today.
The majority of expectant mothers are eligible to donate their childĄ¯s cord blood. Regulatory standards require that the mother be 18 years of age or older and provide a complete health history after enrollment to ensure the safety of the mother, the child and the stem cell unit for unrelated transplant. Answer the questions below to determine if you meet the initial eligibility requirements.
