A member asked where to store umbilical cord stem cells for an upcoming birth in the family. Cryo-Cell came up as the top recommendation, with LifeBank USA named as the hospital-affiliated option.

Patients ask about this at a pivotal moment. Having a clear, evidence-informed answer ready, including what to look for in a storage provider, is a simple way to add value.

Key takeaways

  • Have a recommendation ready before patients ask.
  • Know what separates storage providers: accreditation, hospital affiliation and cost.
