Cord blood stem cells have a unique and powerful ability to regenerate blood cells that have been damaged by disease or medical conditions. Through stem cell transplants, cord blood stem cells can save lives and improve treatment outcomes. Cord blood can also play a critical role in preventing graft-versus-host-disease, which is a potentially fatal condition that occurs when a patient’s body rejects transplanted stem cells.
Parents are always searching for ways to keep their children and family safe. When a debilitating disease or medical condition arises, you want to know that there are accessible, effective treatments immediately available to you and your loved ones. The statistics may surprise you:
Every 4 minutes, one person is diagnosed with a blood cancer
Every 10 minutes, someone dies from a blood cancer
80 diseases are FDA approved for routine treatment with cord blood stem cells
1 in 3 people may benefit from stem cell regenerative medicine therapy
There have been 85,000 cord blood transplants worldwide, and there more than 5,200 clinical trials exploring the use of cord blood stem cells for new therapies.
Banking your baby’s cord blood provides you with life-giving stem cells and offers a lifetime of comfort knowing that you can access your baby’s preserved stem cells at any time.

Note: Some diseases may be known by other names. The use of umbilical cord blood stem cells to treat many diseases and conditions is typically considered standard therapy, while the treatment for other conditions may still be in a clinical trial phase. Currently, stem cells are being used in trials for the treatment of brain injuries, cerebral palsy, autism, diabetes, spinal cord injuries, heart disease, liver disease, and others. These conditions have not been included in this list.
