St. Louis Cord Blood Bank is the second largest public cord blood bank in the world.
Public cord blood banks make cord blood accessible to the general public. There is no cost to you to donate cord blood.
Private cord blood banks are available to those who want to store cord blood for personal use. There are fees for collection and storage.
Every baby that comes into the world brings a gift of cord blood. Your baby's First Gift can be the gift of life to someone with leukemia or many other diseases. The St. Louis Cord Blood Bank is a public cord blood bank. We accept donations from expectant mothers at no cost to them. The delivering physicians, midwives and delivery staffs at participating St. Louis area hospitals volunteer their efforts to collect the cord blood.
Cord blood is the blood that remains in the placenta and umbilical cord when your baby is born. Cord blood donations have been used to treat over 70 different diseases. Your donation is important because blood is needed for people of all racial and ethnic backgrounds.
Donation is absolutely free, and St. Louis Cord Blood Bank makes the cord blood available to anyone, anywhere in the world, who needs it.
The procedure is completely painless for you and your baby. It does not interfere with the birthing process. And, if there is any concern about the safety of mother or baby, collection does not take place.
Thousands of children and adults are alive today because mothers
like you have donated their baby's cord blood.
