BALDWIN PARK, Calif., May 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ California-based StemCyte is pleased to announce expanded hours for umbilical cord blood collection at three hospital sites in Southern California. Made possible through a partnership between StemCyte and UC Davis Health, additional funding will be provided to grow the cord blood program by adding highly trained collection staff, and by identifying and educating cord blood champions at the sites to help facilitate and advance this important work. Located in the cities of Los Angeles, Ontario and Fontana, the collection sites will have additional staff to collect cord blood during extended evening shifts. As these sites employ a hybrid collector-physician model, physicians and midwives will continue to collect cord blood afterhours. This added coverage to each site allows StemCyte to be able to offer more patients the opportunity to participate in California s Umbilical Cord Blood Collection

While it is technically true that there is not proactive language in the bill preventing “the funding of aborted fetal tissue,” that’s also true of nearly every bill Congress votes on. It also has very little to do with the legislation.
The bill is actually a reauthorization of two programs: The C.W. Bill Young Cell Transplantation Program, a program named after a former Republican Congressman which helps match bone marrow and umbilical cord blood with people in need, and the National Cord Blood Inventory Program. That program also provides funding for the collection and storage of umbilical cord blood and bone marrow, both of which can be used to help treat diseases like cancer, anemia, and other immune system disorders.
