About

Bank Director: Wouter Van 't Hof, PhD

Cleveland Cord Blood Center collects donations from 2 hospitals in the Cleveland area, 2 hospitals in Atlanta, Georgia, and 1 hospital in San Francisco with NO advanced registration. The education process starts in OB offices so the mother can learn about cord blood options while she is not under any distress. Mothers are given full consent upon admission to Labor and Delivery, there is no pre-registration necessary. The program accepts donations 24/7, but the lab is not open on Sunday.

The Cleveland Cord Blood Center works with philanthropic foundations to raise funding for their public bank. They have received generous support from the Atlanta-based Katz Foundation. Cleveland Cord Blood Center became the 7^th public cord blood bank in the USA to receive the FDA Biologics License on 1 Sept. 2016
