What Is Cord Blood Banking?
After a baby is born, the umbilical cord is cut and usually discarded as medical waste along with the placenta. Cord blood banking is a way to preserve your baby’s umbilical cord blood, which is collected by knowledgeable healthcare providers after delivery. The cord blood is then stored in state-of-the-art, Upstate Cord Blood Bank in Syracuse. As a hybrid bank, you have the option to donate to patients seeking cord blood for lifesaving medical treatments or, you can pay to store your baby’s cord blood for your family’s personal use should you need it in the future.
Why Bank?
According to the National Marrow Donor Program, approximately 12,000 people are diagnosed with life-threatening diseases every year, and thousands of them will die waiting for treatment. A transplant of your baby’s cord blood could be their best, and possibly their only, hope of a cure. It is a painless, risk-free procedure that takes about 10 minutes after you deliver and could possibly save the life of someone in need of a transplant.
