When did you first consider cord blood banking?

Cord blood is an easily accessible source of stem cells that is available only when your baby is born. It remains in the umbilical cord and placenta following birth.

Cord blood can be used in treatments for life-altering or even life-threatening diseases, including certain types of aggressive cancer. The stem cells found in cord blood are highly adaptable and have powerful healing properties. Cord blood is currently approved to treat more than 80 diseases, with many other treatments being tested in clinical trials.
