The St. Louis Cord Blood Bank is committed
to quality
collection, characterization, and
storage of umbilical cord
blood for the purpose
of providing an alternative source of
hematopoietic
stem sells for stem cell transplantation and
gene therapy.
We are a public cord blood bank.
This means that we
accept donations from
willing expectant parents, at no cost
to them.
Also, the delivering physicians, midwives
and
delivery staffs at participating hospitals
volunteer their
efforts. Banked units are
made available to anyone who
needs
them anywhere in the world.
Cord
blood donations have been used
to treat over
70 different diseases,
and have saved the lives of
thousands of people.
