Birth Tissue Donation

Every birth is a miracle - and an opportunity. After birth, the placenta, umbilical cord, and amniotic fluid and typically discarded as medical waste. But these tissues are rich in healing properties that can be used to help others if you choose to give.

The Midwife Center offers a birth tissue donation program for clients through AmnioGift. Clients can sign up to donate their placenta and other birth tissue.

Donating birth tissue is always your choice, safe for mom/birthing parent & baby, and healing that begins with your gift.

We make the process safe, respectful, and seamless at no cost to you:

  1. You decide if you’d like to participate. There is absolutely no pressure.
  2. Your provider will walk you through a short consent process and a brief questionairre.
  3. After your birth, your birth tissue is carefully collected by trained professionals without affecting your or your baby’s care.

While you and your baby recover and bond, your donation begins its next journey:

  1. One donation can help over 40 people.
  2. Transpalanted birth tissue is used to heal chronic wounds, severe burns, eye injuries, and reconstructive surgery. 
  3. Donation reduces medical waste and supports sustainability in healthcare.
  4. Proceeds go towards the development of intelligence-based solutions aimed at improving maternal health outcomes.
