  • Achieving Happy, Healthy First Birthdays . . . And Many More Beyond

    Posted: Aug 26, 2009

    Helping parents protect and celebrate the health of their children is CBR’s primary mission and a driving force behind everything we do. 

    Years ago, we decided to start sending every child whose cord blood is banked with us a copy of Karen Katz’s classic children’s story, “Where Is Baby’s Belly Button?” on his or her first birthday.  It’s a tradition that serves as a reminder to us – and to our clients – about what makes CBR unique.

    This year we decided to take this tradition one step further.  Since our inception, a driving force of our culture has been to “give back” to the communities we serve.  It is in this spirit that we are pleased to announce a new partnership we have formed with First Candle, a leading national nonprofit organization focused on promoting safe pregnancies and the survival of babies through the first years of life.

    In recognition of our common goal – ensuring that more babies achieve a happy, healthy first birthday – CBR is making an annual donation to First Candle in celebration of our clients' first birthdays.  Our contribution is intended to highlight the great work that First Candle does as well as to recognize the work that is still left to do.

    First Candle provides a wealth of resources for new and expectant parents during pregnancy and after delivery as well as a wide range of information for nurses and other healthcare providers.  For more information about First Candle, you can visit their Website at http://www.firstcandle.org/

    As the Stem Cell Source blog closes in on its sixth month, we want to take the opportunity to see if we are writing about the issues that matter to you. 

    So what questions do you have?  Do you want to know more about public policy, advances in cord blood stem cell science, or the status of clinical trials?  Do you want to hear from doctors, clients, or CBR staff?  

    Please email us and let us know what topics interest you.  We will use your input as the basis for future blog posts.  We can’t respond to individual inquiries, but we’ll do our best to address on our blog the answers to our readers’ most common questions.


     

  • Every Client Experience Must Be Golden

    Posted: Aug 07, 2009

    Since CBR's inception, our founders have insisted that one overarching rule guide everything we do: Treat others the way you'd like to be treated. It's simple, but it's Golden. In fact, we believe this is the only way to treat people. Every CBR employee strives to make sure we live up to this golden promise.

    How are we doing? We ask every new client to give us a report card on their experience with us. We literally get hundreds of report cards a week. On average, more than 99 percent of our clients report that they're satisfied. That's a great number... but from our perspective, it means we have a bit more work to do. At CBR, every client experience must be golden.
