Every cord blood donation at HCA Florida North Florida Hospital has the power to change lives—not just here in Gainesville, but across the globe. Thanks to local moms and dedicated doctors, 138 patients in 26 states and over a dozen countries have received life-saving transplants. Instead of being discarded, cord blood from births is collected and used to treat serious diseases. This partnership between the hospital and LifeSouth Community Blood Centers is making a real difference. Imagine: welcoming a new baby and giving someone else a second chance at life. How do you feel about cord blood donation becoming a routine part of childbirth? #Health #BodyHealth #Gainesville
