However, serious illness can strike without warning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Family Link is a way to provide access to future treatment for many diseases and medical conditions. Stem cell transplant is one method of treating some major medical conditions that the child may develop up through early adulthood. Stem cells are easily obtained from the umbilical cord and placenta after delivery. Family Link will preserve these stem cells by freezing them at ultra-low temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Later, the stem cells will be available for a possibly lifesaving transplant if the child is diagnosed with leukemia or other type of cancer. Or, if disease or treatment such as chemotherapy damages or destroys blood cells, stem cells can help the body rebuild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The frozen cord blood may be used for the child or, if it is a match, for members of the immediate family. The chances that the stem cells will be a suitable match for a child\u2019s biological brother or sister are 1 in 4; the odds of finding a suitable match outside the family can be thousands of times greater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-state-of-the-art-medical-technology\">State-of-the-Art Medical Technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stem cells already are used to treat a variety of major diseases, and research constantly is uncovering new uses. Researchers are looking into the benefits of stem cell transplants to treat many forms of cancer, sickle cell disease and certain rare types of anemia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Family Link, stem cells are collected from umbilical cord blood after a child is born. Collecting the cells doesn\u2019t interfere with the delivery or with the intimate moments between parents and a newborn. The collection procedure for Family Link is entirely painless for both mother and child. We preserve the blood cells \u2014 frozen in vapor phase nitrogen \u2014 using state-of-the-art medical technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-parents-peace-of-mind\">Parents\u2019 Peace of Mind<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Family Link, you are taking a significant step to protect your baby\u2019s future good health. That\u2019s especially comforting for families with a history of cancer or other diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The chance that your child could benefit from a cord blood transplant is estimated to be about 1 in 10,000. In families that have experienced certain types of life-threatening conditions, it becomes more likely that cord blood could be helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-benefits-of-family-link\">Benefits of Family Link<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most important benefit of Family Link is knowing you are doing something significant for your child\u2019s continued good health. Scientists believe the blood may be usable for 20 years or more, providing benefits that include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Protection if your child\u2019s blood cells are destroyed by chemotherapy treatment for cancer or by complications of disease<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A perfect match if your child needs a stem cell transplant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Possible compatibility with a child\u2019s siblings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoiding the cost \u2014 sometimes more than $25,000 \u2014 of obtaining marrow or cord blood through a national bank from an unrelated
