Veterans and Military Families save their newborn’s stem cells

StemCyte announces new program for U.S. Veterans and Active Military

StemCyte, a trusted stem cell source for over 100 of the world’s leading transplant hospitals, has annouced its unique program for U.S. Veterans and Military families.

Stemcyte Family is dedicated to helping military families save their newborns’ stem cells.  With their active duty military and veteran discounts, Stemcyte is committed to making cord blood banking a real and feasible option for all Military Personnel. Stemcyte Family also has additional programs that make cord blood banking more affordable.  Their goal is to make saving your child’s stem cells affordable and efficient.

Stem cells from the umbilical cord blood have the potential to be a source of stem cells for your entire family. To date, over 8000 people, both adults and children, have received cord blood units for stem cell transplantation.

Today, cord blood is a proven treatment for over 70 diseases, and new diseases are added to this list all the time. In the future many more diseases may potentially be treated by stem cells. Stem cells are unspecialized cells that can become any other type of cell in the body. All stem cells share similar properties in that they can divide and renew themselves for many generations, and they can develop into specialized types of more defined cells. Stem cells from the umbilical cord blood can form other types of blood cells. These cell types include red blood cells, platelets, and T cells which make up the immune system.

There is only one opportunity to collect your child’s cord blood and that is at the time of birth.
When you choose the StemCyte Family to process and store you baby’s stem cells, you are choosing the most experienced family cord blood bank. Recently, they provided a transplant physician with our 355th cord blood stem cell transplant unit.

StemCyte has now supplied TWICE as many units as all other family cord blood banks COMBINED. Additionally, their cord blood units have been used to treat more than 40 different diseases. You may view their transplant record at: www.stemcytefamily.com/pdf/transplant_record.pdf

Stemcyte is a trusted stem cell source for over 100 of the world’s leading transplant hospitals, and this number is increasing each week as their reputation among these centers grows. Because it’s not just about saving blood; it’s about saving lives.

Saving your baby’s cord blood stem cells is a very important decision to make and is a choice that we believe should be available to all parents. At StemCyte Family, they believe that cord blood banking should not be prohibitive based solely on price.

It is their goal to help families who want to save their babies’ cord blood to be able to afford to do so. Processing a quality cord blood unit in a highly accredited laboratory is not inexpensive, and they recognize that many families need some help in order to afford cord blood banking.
As such, Stemcyte has developed a number of programs that are available to expectant parents to help make saving your baby’s cord blood possible. If you have questions about any of their programs, please call one of their cord blood specialists TOLL FREE at 866-389-4659, and they will be happy to assist you.

Stemcyte offers payment plans through GE Care Credit with a wide selection of flexible payment plans starting as low as $42 a month. They also offer interest free plans for those who qualify. Payment plans are subject to approval by GE Care Credit Consumer Card Co and the Care Credit Program. Their cord blood specialists are standing by to help you find the best plan for your family.

Virtual Baby Shower
Their Virtual Baby Shower program is a simple and easy way for you to ask your friends and family to help you save your child’s cord blood. Friends and family that you invite to your Virtual Baby Shower can contribute towards your cord blood banking fees in increments of $25. This is an excellent program to share with your office or mother’s circles as well. It only takes a few minutes to set up your own Virtual Baby Shower. And they have created unique “Thank you” emails that allow you to personally thank anyone who gives you the gift of cord blood banking.
With a little help from your friends and family, this program makes cord blood banking affordable through an easy to give Baby Shower Gift.
