WMDA strongly condemns the violence that is occurring in Ukraine, Israel and Gaza. We offer our sympathies to all those who are suffering because of these conflicts. We extend our support to the donor registries and medical centers whose donors and patients are negatively affected by these crises.

The New York Blood Center Is Moving
The New York Blood Center (NYBC) is relocating in fall 2024, resulting in a temporary pause in clinical cord blood unit distribution for approximately three weeks, starting September 20th. During this period, requests for confirmatory HLA typing, post-thaw QC, or shipments will not be processed, though unit reservations and access to previous testing reports remain available. Expect slightly longer turnaround times for QC results. To minimize disruption, consider early shipments for transplants scheduled during this downtime. NYBC remains committed to high-quality service and patient care throughout the transition. For inquiries, contact ncbp@nybc.org.
