Michigan Community Blood Centers Cord Blood Bank

DESCRIPTION: Michigan Cord Blood Bank will mail a collection kit to a qualifying donor if you register at least 12 weeks ahead of your due date and will be delivering at one of the 15 hospitals in the state at which Michigan Community Blood Services operates a blood bank. These hospitals are: Bay City, Clare, Grand Haven, Grand Rapids, Holland, Midland, Muskegon, Niles, Saginaw, St. Joseph, Traverse City, Zeeland. The parents bring the collection kit to the hospital at delivery time and their OB/Gyn or midwife performs the collection.
