If my delivery hospital does not collect cord blood donations can I send a mail-in donation?

Within the United States, there are a few programs that provide parents with a collection kit that they can take to the hospital and then send a mail-in donation to a public cord blood bank or a research laboratory.

• CellSure (866 646-6171) - accepts birth tissue donations up to week 40
• Cord for Life (800-869-8608) - accepts cord blood donations if you register by week 34
