by Jamie Price, MS, BA, Director of Education

Save the Cord Foundation is hosting World Cord Blood Day on November 15, 2023. FACT is honored to be an inspiring partner again this year to help raise awareness about the current and future uses of cord blood stem cells.

World Cord Blood Day was created to expand cord blood education worldwide. Cord blood transplants exceed 40,000 globally, and stem cells from cord blood are currently used to treat more than 80 different types of cancer, including leukemia, lymphoma, and sickle cell anemia.  Cord blood and cord blood stem cells are also utilized in clinical trials for many indications including a variety of diseases and conditions.

As an inspiring partner, and in anticipation of World Cord Blood Day on November 15th, FACT invites the public to participate in the Save the Cord Foundation’s free virtual conference.
