Healthcare Professionals


OUR HOSPITAL PROGRAM


We partner with hospitals to ensure that every family has the opportunity to store stem cells from their newborn’s umbilical cord blood.

Our Partner Hospitals help educate expectant parents about their cord blood options to donate, privately bank, or discard their newborn’s cord blood.  They perform the cord blood collection immediately after delivery, and leave the rest to Cord for Life®.

Learn more about how our hospital program is helping to build the public inventory of cord blood through awareness, education, and access.

ONLINE COLLECTION TRAINING


Cord blood collectors play a critical role in determining the transplant potential of each unit. The quantity of stem cells contained in cord blood is unpredictable and current protocols rely on the total volume collected as the first key to obtaining a transfusable stem cell unit.


Since cord blood stem cells do not regenerate, there is only a limited amount available for future use.  The best results for patients begins in the delivery room – the more cord blood collected, the more stem cells can be recovered and stored.


We provide complete instructions for cord blood collections, including maternal blood draw requirements, vaginal, C-section, and ex-utero deliveries, and contact information for kit pick-up.
