- Our Mission Statement:
- The primary mission of the American Cord Blood Program is to make umbilical cord blood units available to all patients in need of unrelated transplantation worldwide through the development and maintenance of a center of excellence for the collection, storage, search and distribution of ethically and racially diverse cord blood units.
- Who We Are:
- The American Cord Blood Program, located at UMass Memorial Medical Center (UMMC) in Worcester, MA, opened in January, 1997 as New England's first non-profit umbilical cord blood bank. As one of only five cord blood banks in the US (and the second largest in the world), the program collects blood from many community hospitals across Massachusetts and in Connecticut. In fact, in its first year of operation, the program collected over 1,500 cord blood donations. Today, that number has more than doubled.
- The American Cord Blood Program elevates UMass Memorial to a new level of national recognition as the only academic medical center in the United States with a comprehensive onsite program -- including cord blood collection and storage, donor searches and distribution, complemented with transplantation and research activities.
Cord blood searches are conducted by the Caitlin Raymond International Registry, which is affiliated with UMMC, and already handles about 25 percent of the worldwide volume of unrelated bone marrow donor searches.
