REASONS TO SAVE
YOUR BABY'S STEM CELLS
Stem Cell storage from a newborn's Umbilical Cord and Cord Blood is increasing among families. Banking your
child's Cord Blood Stem Cells can be valuable for the child itself, but could also be a source of transplantable
Stem Cells for a family member in medical need.

blood, transplants using a partially matched donor/s are
often used.

Host Diseases" is low.

system disorders have been treated with allogeneic stem
cell transplants.
