Through the Newborn Possibilities Program, CBR offers free cord blood and tissue processing and five years of storage for families with a qualifying medical need.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\"CBR is the largest family newborn stem cell preservation company in the world, helping parents store newborn stem cells from cord blood and cord tissue for their children,\" said Holly Sheffield, President, CooperSurgical. \"Part of the reason CBR is the number one choice of expecting parents and most recommended by OB/GYNs is because we offer access to families that may benefit from newborn stem cells the most.\"\nThere are two ways to qualify for the Newborn Possibilities Program: a family can either have a newborn with a full sibling or biological parent who has been diagnosed with a disease or disorder currently treatable with stem cells or a baby that is identified during pregnancy or at birth as having a health condition that may benefit from experimental stem cell use. In either of these cases, CBR offers free cord blood and tissue processing and five years of storage to those families. \n\"Cord blood and cord tissue contain a multitude of stem cells. These cells are so powerful, they have the natural ability to turn into other types of cells and can also be used to regenerate and repair damaged cells with healthy ones,\" stated Dr. Jaime M. Shamonki, VP of Clinical Strategy and Market Development. \"In fact, 85% of the cord blood used by CBR families was for regenerative medicine purposes. For these families, having access to stem cells can be life changing.\"\nTo learn more about CBR and the Newborn Possibilities Program, please visit www.cordblood.com. \nAbout CBR by CooperSurgical\nCord Blood Registry® (CBR®) the largest family newborn stem cell preservation company in the world, helping parents store stem cells from cord blood and cord tissue for their children.
