Our Thoughts
It is with great excitement that we share with you an update on public cord blood collections here in Delaware. As many of you know, Christiana Care Health System adopted our public cord blood collection program a little over a year ago. We were thrilled by this news because we knew CCHS would not only do a fantastic job in promoting the program but would also reach a larger audience through their partnership with Cord Use. As of this July, they have had more than 1,000 women donate their baby’s cord blood!!! WOW!! Plus, any donated units that are not viable for collection are now being re-directed for research. Great news! Thank you to all of these wonderful expected parents who gave so unselfishly – they truly know the importance of ‘Give Life. Twice.”.
If you are delivering at CCHS and are interested in donating your baby’s umbilical cord blood, please go to http://www.christianacare.org/donatingcordblood for more information.
