Why Donate?

Why Donate to a Public Bank?

Your donated cord blood can help patients in need of a life-saving transplant. Cord blood provides a rich source of stem cells that would otherwise be thrown away as medical waste.

  • There is NO COST to donate.
  • There is NO PAIN to you or your baby at the time of donation.
  • Your identity is kept CONFIDENTIAL and stored securely within our facility.

You have a lot to think about during your pregnancy. Don't wait to make the important decision to donate your cord blood!

A Cord Blood Donation Guide will be included in your 28-36 week prenatal packet.  Although your OB Provider may not have time to speak with you about cord blood donation, you can call Upstate CBB at 315-492-2600.
