Dad-to-be’s cancer diagnosis led to newborn stem cell preservation.

“Wait! Wait! Wait! I have something for you.” What that nurse at the ultrasound center had for expecting mom Jessica Fox was a CBR® brochure. 

Just weeks after learning she was pregnant with their first child, Jessica’s husband, Brady, was diagnosed with leukemia.  

The brochure Jessica received that day explained that CBR offers families like hers a special program that covers the costs of newborn stem cell preservation when an immediate family member has been diagnosed with a disease or disorder that is currently treatable with stem cells.^†

CBR®’s Newborn Possibilities Program® has helped thousands of families preserve¹ 

There are three ways families may qualify to participate in this no-cost program: 

• If their newborn has a qualifying low Apgar score. 

• If their newborn is identified (either during pregnancy or at birth) to have a health condition that may benefit from an experimental use of newborn stem cells.  

• When a full sibling or biological parent has been diagnosed with a disease or disorder that is currently treatable with stem cells. 

If you think your family may be eligible for the Newborn Possibilities Program®, CBR’s Clinical Specialists are available to discuss your family’s medical history and how newborn stem cells might be applicable to your family. Speak with a clinical team member today at 1.888.271.3881.
