Charis Ober (Save the Cord Foundation) interviews nurse and team leader from the Arizona Public Cord Blood Program, Kristen Wilt, about this unique public donation program run by the state of Arizona and funded by the state lottery. She goes in-depth regarding the consent process used with young mothers and explains how these stem cell donations are used to save lives (via the BeTheMatch registry) or used for important research (all units for research have the mother's consent).
