PacifiCord Client Kristi Henaghan, CNM, FNP, BSN: "After meeting my husband, who has cystic fibrosis, I found out that I was also a carrier of the disease. Discovering this information changed our entire thought process about having children. My husband and I believe in the importance of cord blood banking, especially due to the illness that has affected his life."

HealthBanks became the first company to offer famililes cord tissue storage in 2008 and remains a pioneer in enhancing the quality and viability of stem cells from cord tissue. In addition, the company has been at the forefront of stem cell research, vaccine development, and pharmaceuticals for nearly 30 years to identify better treatments for clinical diseases.

With global best practices, HealthBanks is able to fulfill its vision - providing families with the ultimate protection for their baby’s stem cells today, as well as for tomorrow’s use.
