Associates for Women’s Medicine is committed to educating our patients
regarding the benefits of cord blood preservation.
Benefits
- Cord blood is rich in stem cells.
- Cord blood stem cells can be used to
treat over 40 life-threatening diseases, including various types of cancer,
bone marrow failure syndromes, blood disorders, immune deficiencies,
genetic disease and have been used in thousands of transplants.
- Through
research conducted today, in the future cord blood stem cells may be
used to treat heart disease, stroke, diabetes, Parkinson’s
disease, muscular dystrophy and more types of cancer.
Cord blood must be preserved at birth
Preserving your baby’s cord blood stem cells is a one-time opportunity
- only at the time of your child’s birth. We encourage every expectant
family to make an informed decision about this option.
