How To Donate

CORD:USE operates a cord blood donation program designed to increase the public inventory of high-quality, ethnically-diverse cord blood units. Once collected and processed, these units are then made available to a growing number of patients—both children and adults—who are in desperate need of a stem cell transplant.

CORD:USE currently has public cord blood donation programs in the following hospitals:*

*CORD:USE is currently expanding its network of hospitals throughout the country.

Currently, delivering mothers can only donate to the CORD:USE Cord Blood Bank if they are delivering at one of the collaborating hospitals noted above. CORD:USE utilizes its own highly trained staff which are on-site at each of our participating hospitals. CORD:USE works with a growing number of obstetricians in hospitals across the country to provide expectant parents with the option of donating their newborn’s cord blood immediately following delivery. To date, more than 10,000 patients have been transplanted with cord blood stem cells worldwide and that number continues to increase. Most of these patients would have had otherwise no other option without the benefit of having access to the public cord blood inventory.
