At ViaCord, a patient's needs always come first. Therefore, we believe that every family deserves to benefit from the potential opportunities presented by cord blood stem cells, regardless of their financial situation.

The Sibling Connection Program is a unique partnership between ViaCord and Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute (CHORI). When CHORI was seeking a partner to help families with children who could benefit from a cord blood stem cell transplant, they turned to ViaCord.  Dr. Betram H. Lubin, Director of Medical Research at CHORI said of the partner selection, "After thorough due diligence in assessing the field, I am confident that ViaCord processes cells in a high quality manner suitable for transplant".

This program provides ViaCord's COMPLETE NEWBORN STEM CELL PACKAGE™ which includes cord blood and cord tissue stem collection, processing and five years of storage at no cost to expecting parents who have a child in need of a transplant and meet the other enrollment requirements of the program.

Any expectant family with a child who has an established diagnosis of a disease that is currently treatable with sibling cord blood may be eligible. Your child's doctor will need to complete a medical referral form for approval.
