WHO WE ARE
One of only eight FDA-licensed cord blood centers in the U.S., the Cleveland Cord Blood Center (CCBC) collects, processes, stores and distributes stem-cell rich umbilical cord blood for transplantation in patients with life-threatening disorders such as leukemia, lymphoma and immune system disorders. The broad diversity of families served by our hospital collection sites in Northeast Ohio, Atlanta, San Leandro and Berkeley, California help us support a diverse population’s unmet needs. In addition, CCBC cord blood units are used by our researchers as well as others around the country to explore and advance umbilical cord blood’s potential as life-saving cell therapies. Our dedication to quality, collaboration and innovation is helping to establish us as a national leader in the field of umbilical cord blood cellular therapies. We are saving lives, enhancing health and expanding knowledge one birth at a time.
BENEFITS OF CORD BLOOD DONATION
Cord blood-derived stem cells are a source of blood cell-forming (hematopoietic) stem cells with the potential to treat patients with life-threatening blood disorders. Read on to learn more about how cord blood donations can make a lifesaving difference, and meet survivors whose lives were changed after receiving a cord blood transplant.
