Charitable Initiatives

We pride ourselves on giving back to the community, providing hope and peace of mind to families in need.

Wings of Hope Medical Need Program
Insception’s “Wings of Hope” Medical Need Program is the largest initiative of its kind in Canada with over 250 families who have participated since 2004. If a family is approved as Medical Need, Insception will waive the initial fee of $1125. If the cord blood unit is not used within the first year for treatment, the family becomes responsible for the annual storage fee of $125 starting on the baby's first birthday.

In order to qualify, we require a referral letter from the oncologist/haematologist, which can be downloaded here. Once completed, the letter is faxed to our office at: 905 206 2798. The application is reviewed by the Chair of the Medical Need program who will determine eligibility. Each Medical Need application is handled on a case-by-case basis by one of Insception's Clinical Consultants.

The Victoria Feldberg Cord Blood Fund
The costs associated with the collection and storage of cord blood are not covered under provincial health care plans, and many families in financial need cannot afford to pay for the program on their own. Several years ago, the Feldberg family set out to give such families the chance to store their child's cord blood. Each year, the Victoria Feldberg Fund  provides funding to allow participation in Insception's cord blood program for 10 families that exhibit financial need who are delivering at Mount Sinai Hospital.

The Feldbergs are making this unique donation through their company, the Embanet Corporation, a leader in the delivery of Internet courses and training. Embanet supports more than 350 organizations and more than one million life-long learners worldwide by providing a virtual learning experience.
