Don’t let myths cloud the truth about organ donation! Our new #MythBusters series is here to help clear the air. Doctors always prioritize saving your life, and organ donation is only considered after all life-saving efforts have been exhausted. Two doctors not involved in transplantation must declare death before organ donation can proceed. Let's spread the truth and encourage more people to register as donors.

How amazing is the power of umbilical cord blood??! Umbilical cord blood is a beautiful source of blood stem cells that can be collected at the time of birth with no risk to the mom or baby. This blood can then be processed and stored for use as a stem cell donor for patients needing a bone marrow transplant. It is especially important for those patients who can not identify a suitably matched related or unrelated donor because it offers access to a life-saving bone marrow transplant when the patient needs it most. Access to cord blood donors helps make sure that today, there is a blood stem cell donor for nearly everyone who needs one! #donorforall #cordblood #cordbloodtransplant
Elliott's journey to transplant is a powerful reminder that you're more powerful than you think. When you donate your baby’s umbilical cord blood, you give hope to patients like Elliott, whose care team found a cord blood match for her. Explore how donating cord blood has the power to ensure a future for patients in need 👉 https://bit.ly/4cHA5qu #NMDP #CordBlood #BloodCancer #CellTherapy
