In today’s episode, Dr. Carrie Jones is joined by Kathryn Cross, the Founder of Anja Health. They discuss placenta and cord blood banking for stem cell use later in life.

Building Anja Health was much more than just a startup idea. For Kathryn, it’s a life mission. Having experienced losing her brother Andrew, who could have been helped with his own cord blood stem cells if they had been saved at birth, she was aware of the promising future for this segment of the healthcare industry from a very young age. Kathryn's mission is to spread awareness on the use cases of umbilical cord blood, cord tissue, and placenta and how, by banking these at birth, parents can better prepare themselves for the future of their children.
