Tucson Medical Center is the only hospital in Southern Arizona, to collect donated umbilical cord blood in partnership with the Arizona Department of Health Services, Arizona Biomedical Research Centre and the MD Anderson Cord Blood Bank The Arizona Public Cord Blood Program gives expectant parents the option of donating their baby’s umbilical cord blood to the national registry where it could save the life of someone with a life-threatening disease who needs a stem cell transplant. Cord blood transplants can help children and adults with life-threatening diseases such as leukemia, lymphoma or genetic diseases. More than 22,000 patients around the world have received transplants from donations to public cord blood banks. Donating cord blood does not hurt the mother or the baby. It does not change your labor or delivery, and donation to a public bank is free – it does not cost you anything. Your privacy is valued, and the names of cord blood donors are never shared. The Save the Cord Foundation is proud to partner with the Arizona Public Cord Blood Program and be the voice for unbiased cord blood education and awareness. Here's what you need to know: What is cord blood? Cord blood is the blood left in the umbilical cord after birth. It's rich in stem cells, which can be used to treat various diseases. Why donate?

Cord blood can save lives by treating conditions like leukemia and immune disorders.

It's especially valuable for patients who can't find matching bone marrow donors.

Donation is free and doesn't affect you or your baby.

How to donate:

Discuss with your doctor before 34 weeks of pregnancy.

Complete a health history form.

Provide a small blood sample for testing.

Sign a consent form.

After delivery:

The cord blood is collected quickly and painlessly.

It's then sent to a public cord blood bank for processing and storage.

Important notes:

Some medical conditions may prevent you from donating.

There's no guarantee the cord blood will be suitable for banking.

By donating cord blood, you're giving hope to patients in need. It's a simple act that can make a big difference. Talk to your health care provider to learn more about this amazing opportunity to help others. When you come to TMC to deliver, tell your nurse that you’d like to donate.
