The five minutes it takes to save your baby's umbilical cord blood could prove to be a once in a lifetime opportunity to protect that child or other family members from a growing number of life threatening diseases. Mountain State Blue Cross Blue Shield is offering this opportunity to members through the CorCellŽ Saving Baby's Cord BloodŽ program.
Why Save Cord Blood?
- Umbilical cord blood is a unique and potent source of life-giving stem cells like those found in bone marrow.
- Collecting cord blood is safe for mother and baby and free of ethical controversy.
- Preserved cord blood stem cells represent a significant new resource that can rebuild a person's blood and immune system.
- Cord blood stem cells are a perfect match for the donor child and may also benefit siblings and other family members.
- Cord blood stem cells can be safely stored for possible transplant in the future to treat more than 70 life-threatening diseases.
- Medical researchers are currently exploring new uses for cord blood stem cells in treatments for conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, heart attack, stroke and spinal cord injuries.
There is Only One Opportunity
Cord blood stem cells can only be collected within minutes of the birth of a baby. By preserving a newborn's cord blood stem cells, you are making a potentially life-saving resource available for the future. ALL Mountain State Blue Cross Blue Shield members are eligible for the CorCell discount. You can purchase cord blood preservation for your own child or as a gift for other expectant parents. Gift Certificates are available. To learn more about cord blood stem cell storage or CorCell's convenient payment plans, please visit www.corcell.com or call 1-888-326-7235.
