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 more than 70 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 hospitals in Eastern Missouri and Southern Illinois 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 is rich in adult stem cells, similar to bone marrow stem cells. Your donation is important because cord blood is needed for people of all racial and ethnic backgrounds.
"Sweetie, you and I might just
save someone's life."
St. Louis Cord Blood Bank is one of the largest public cord blood banks 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.
Donation is absolutely free, and the 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.
