Medical Benefits

ViaCord

ViaCord facilitates new parents with collecting and storing umbilical cord blood and tissue.

When saved, cord blood is capable of nurturing life beyond pregnancy. Cord blood can also provide a potentially healing resource for your family’s future.

Nearly 80 life-threatening diseases- from cancers to blood disease to immune disorders- can use cord blood stem cells in treatment.

Cord tissue stem cells are showing great potential in regenerative medicine for the future treatment of medical conditions, such as Autism, Cerebral Palsy, brain injuries, and more.

There is no cost to the team member for the initial harvest, nor the first year’s storage.
