LEARN MORE Cord Blood Donation and Storage A child's birth is a gift of joy to a family, and it could also provide the gift of life to others. Cord blood—the few ounces of blood left in the umbilical cord and placenta after delivery—is a rich source of stem cells, which can be used in lifesaving transplants, disease treatments and medical research. Through an exclusive agreement with Cryo-Cell, a leading cord blood bank, Cedars-Sinai offers a variety of options for donating cord blood or storing it for possible use by your own family later on. You can discuss cord blood storage or donation with your obstetrician, or call Cryo-Cell at 800-786-7235 for more information.
