Viacord: Top Cord Blood Questions Answered

By Emily Savage Posted on August 5, 2019

We know the topic of cord blood banking can be overwhelming but it is an important topic to be educated on in advance of giving birth because the decision to bank or not to bank can only be made during a short window after birth. Being thoroughly informed on this topic & putting a plan in place to bank your baby’s cord blood in advance of the birth is recommended. We are so excited to share with our BCB community our latest interview with BCB Resident Expert, Kate Girard, Director Scientific and Medical Affairs ViaCord Cord Blood Bank.  Keep scrolling to learn more about cord blood and tissue banking, why parents would consider doing this, how to go about determining the best fit for banking and more about the current research that’s happening today in this area.
