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.

• Cord for Life (800-869-8608) - accepts cord blood donations for transplants
• Saneron (813-977-7664) - accepts cord blood donations for therapeutic products
• Perinatal Stem Cells Society - accepts donations of cord tissue and placenta for therapeutic products
