Birth is a once in a life time opportunity to provide life saving related and matched cord blood stem cells for your child or another family member.

 
Should your child ever become ill and require a stem cell transplant, their own perfectly matched cells will be immediately available throughout their lifetime, with no risk of rejection. Should a related family member become ill and require treatment, studies have shown that stem cells from related donors have less risk of rejection and have a greater chance of engraftment, than from an unrelated donor.

 

The primary concern of all parents is the health of their child. Fortunately, most children reach adulthood with few, if any, serious health problems. Potential uses of cord blood stem cells can be used to treat many diseases such as Heart Disease, Diabetes, Parkinson’s, Stroke, Muscular Dystrophy, Alzheimer’s and Spinal Cord Injury.

 

 The delivering physician or midwife collects the cord blood immediately following the birth of the baby. The cord blood is then received, processed, and stored at our state-of-the-art laboratory. Should it ever be needed, your sample is readily accessible for the exclusive use of your family. Our dedication to research and the future of stem cell treatment drives us to provide cord blood banking services of the highest levels of safety and quality.

 

Childhood cancer remains the leading cause of death by disease among children between the ages of 1 and 14. Treatments such as chemotherapy to fight cancer, or conditions such as Leukemia, Malignant Lymphoma, or Neuroblastoma may result in the need for a Bone Marrow transplant. We know that stem cells, present in umbilical cord blood and collected at the time of birth, can be successfully used in place of bone marrow.^1,2
