Pregnant? Give Your Baby Every Advantage for a Healthy Future
The blood remaining in your baby's umbilical cord after it has been
cut is rich in stem cells. These cells have already been used to treat
nearly 70 serious conditions -- including brain injury and cancer.
Cord blood stem cells can only be collected minutes after your baby's
birth, so it's important to know your options before you get to the
delivery room. Explore what cord blood banking has to offer your
family. Visit the Cord Blood Banking Education Center
