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.
