National Marrow Donation Information

Submitted by Kelly

The following hospitals in our area collect cord blood onsite, ask you doctor or midwife before your 34th week if you would like to donate your baby's cord blood. If you are not delivering at one of these hospitals, but would like to donate, you can easily do so by printing the forms from http://www.cryo-intl.com/enroll/donating/ and following the fairly simple directions with your doctor. For good information on cord blood donation, visit the National Marrow Donor Program at http://www.marrow.org/HELP/Donate_Cord_Blood_Share_Life/index.html.
