You can proceed with both cord blood collection and placenta donation. Cord blood is not required for placenta donation. Your doctor will gather the cord blood and collect the placenta for donation.

At Phoenix Donor Services, we prioritize the safety and well-being of both you and your newborn. The collection will only take place once your baby has been safely delivered. Rest assured that the donation process poses no risks to you or your newborn. Your focus can remain entirely on the joyous arrival of your baby, knowing that the donation process will have no impact on their well-being or the care you receive.

‍

The placenta grows inside a woman's womb and connects to the baby through the umbilical cord. It acts like a bridge, providing the baby with essential nutrients and oxygen from the mother's blood while also removing waste products from the baby's blood.

Placentas that are not donated are typically discarded at the hospital as medical waste, however donating your placenta is completely voluntary.

Medical products made from donated tissue can help patients with a variety of medical conditions.

Any mother who is scheduled to have a planned cesarean section or vaginal delivery is eligible for donation through Phoenix Donor Services. Our team will work with you during the consultation to go through the necessary eligibility requirements.

Neither you or your family will be responsible for any costs associated with donation.

Our process is simple and our dedicated team will walk you through each step once you decide to donate. Read our How It Works section to learn more about the donation process.

At Phoenix Donor Services, we have implemented rigorous procedures to safeguard the confidentiality of patient information. We ensure that such information is strictly accessed and disclosed only on a need-to-know basis, solely for the purpose for which the tissue is donated.
