Letter from Tom Moore, CEO
Every life matters. Every stem cell counts.
2007 was a year of incredible gains for cord blood banking: more newborns banking with CBR (surpassing even the federal government's goal for the National cord blood inventory); more cells recovered thanks to our industry-leading CellAdvantage® technology; more research into stem cells' potential to treat diabetes, cerebral palsy, brain injury, and other diseases; and more education through public policy and legislation.

Banking is just as important the second time around.
Congratulations on your growing family. You may wonder if it's necessary to bank cord blood for all of your children. The answer is YES.
Just as each child is genetically unique, so is that child's cord blood stem cell sample. In fact, the stem cells in a sibling's cord blood are up to twice as likely to be useful for transplant compared to stem cells from the same sibling's bone marrow. Ensure an exact genetic match is available for each of your children. Enroll by 1/31 and enjoy $400 savings exclusively for our repeat customers.

The Vernezos brothers are thriving at home, away from the hospitals where just last year 16-month old Christos began chemotherapy for leukemia. While searching public donor banks for a stem cell match, mom, Paula, discovered she was pregnant. Tests revealed that the new baby was a perfect match for Christos. Read their happy story >
