The St. Louis Cord Blood Bank

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.
