Innovative Outreach:  Cord Blood in the Classroom
Bring cord blood education to your classroom and community. Cord Blood in the Classroom (free, open to all) is an integral part of our sister website, Next Generation - Cord Blood (www.NextGenerationCordBlood.org), which provides key educational tools for teachers leading secondary and university classrooms. This unique program allows students to learn the basics of cord blood collection and transplantation for cancer patients and more.
