The miracle of childbirth can also be a miracle to someone in need.
We help create birth tissue donation programs, which allows us to support stem cell research & development.
About
Did You Know?
Placentas, which are typically disposed of as medical waste, can be processed and used by doctors to treat joint pain, soft tissue injuries, ulcers, and wounds. In addition, perinatal stem cells are being used to research the potential treatment of conditions such as muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, autism, and many more.
Choose to Donate and Make a Difference
Instead of allowing your afterbirth to be destroyed, choose to donate and let its life-giving properties help patients in need or help researchers find a cure. There is absolutely no risk to you or your baby, nor is there any cost to you or the hospital. You can rest assured that your afterbirth is making a difference for someone in need.
What to Expect
Once you have chosen to make a donation, the process is simple. You will first need to answer a questionnaire regarding medical and social history. We will also need to collect a blood sample, which is collected at the same time as your standard admittance blood draw at the hospital.
