Reaching Out to the Community

Along with conducting innovative women’s and infants’ health research, Magee-Womens Research Institute wants to have a positive impact on the health of the local community.

Our Community Outreach Programs

The Dan Berger Cord Blood Program

This program supports the collection and storage of umbilical cord blood samples. Expectant parents have three options — donate to a public bank or to medical research with no fees, or store in a private cord blood bank for a fee. No other cord blood program in the country is quite like it.

Pregnant? Check out your cord blood options by watching this video starring cord blood manager, Mary Wiegel.

Women's Cancer Survivorship Workshops
For millions of women today, a strong sense of hope and support lays the foundation for cancer survival. Having a positive outlook helps many women diagnosed with breast or gynecologic cancers overcome these diseases.

So far, Magee has hosted two survivorship workshops with more on the way.
