I was recently interviewed on Fox.  Here is an overview of that interview:

Q: Why did you chose to bank?

A: I chose to bank because you never know what the future will hold.  I believe there is a future in cellar medicine.

Q: Why didn't you just bank publicly?

A: When you bank publicly there is no guarantee that the stem cells will be there for your family.  Family banking with Viacord ensures me the peace of mind that my child's  stem cells will be there for my family.

Q: Private banking is so expensive:

A: For me the money spent yearly is well worth it.  I think of all the things that we do that are wasteful, this is an opportunity that comes along once and it may result in something that can save the lives of a family member.

Q: If you had one piece of advice for parents what would it be?

A: I hope that parents spend as much time looking into cord banking as they would with their child’s name or researching a stroller.  It is a couple of phone calls.  Banking might not be right for every family but I hope people make informed decisions.
