AlloSource has expanded its placental donation program, partnering with St. Mary’s Hospital in Grand Junction to facilitate the donation of placental tissue following childbirth.

“This unique program has shown to be a great way for mothers to be to collaborate with our organization and help those in need,” said Thomas Cycyota, president and chief executive of AlloSource. “Our new partnership with St. Mary’s in Grand Junction will offer more exposure to this program and help us continue to advance patient healing for years to come.”

AlloSource works with physicians, hospitals and expectant mothers interested in donating placentas following delivery. Amniotic tissues from placentas help patients in a variety of applications, including ankle and foot procedures, spinal surgeries and wound healing.

Based in Centennial, AlloSource has grown into one of the largest tissue networks in the country in creating more than 200 types of allografts for use in a variety of medical procedures. For more information about the placenta donation program, log on to https://donatemyplacenta.org.
