Our Mission: To provide the highest-quality stem cell preservation service and care to our patients, families, and their physicians. We at ViaCord believe these words are much more than just a promise. They are the commitment we live by. Our Origins: ViaCord was established in 1993 to give expectant parents an opportunity to bank their children's cord blood with comfort and security. Prior to launching our Cord Blood Banking Service, ViaCord conducted extensive research and validation studies to set high standards regarding the collection, processing, and storage of cord blood.
