The American Cord Blood Program no longer exists.
TactiCom developed and donated this site to the program when it was part of U-Mass.

"As a new Mom with a healthy baby boy, I can't think of a better gift - the gift of life to another. The donation was simple and painless. I can't wait to tell my son how he became a hero."

"There is nothing more tragic than having a cure, and not finding a donor. On behalf of the patients who will benefit from this life saving donation, THANK YOU."

"There is no doubt that cord blood can help save lives. I hope that many women will take advantage of the opportunity to help in this vital program."

Chairman, Dept. of Obstetrics & Gynecology

"Cord blood is now accepted as a viable option for more than 9,000 patients in need of transplantation. Currently only 30% of these patients are able to locate a donor, but with cord blood, many more may find a cure."
