About My Placenta Gift
Giving Birth Tissue
A Meaningful Second Purpose
My Placenta Gift is a placenta donor program created to give expectant mothers an opportunity to donate placental tissue after birth for potential medical applications that support patient care.
Our Purpose
Connecting the Gift of Birth With the Opportunity to Help Others
The placenta performs an extraordinary role throughout pregnancy. After delivery, however, it is ordinarily discarded.
Placenta donation offers eligible mothers another option. Through donation, eligible placental tissue may be recovered, carefully handled, and processed for medical applications where it may support the care of patients.
What Matters to Us
Donation With Care and Respect
Every donation begins with a mother making a voluntary decision. The donation process should respect that decision while keeping maternal and newborn care at the center.
Mothers First
The medical care of mother and baby remains the priority throughout labor and delivery.
Informed Choice
Mothers should have the information and opportunity to ask questions before choosing to participate.
Responsible Handling
Donated tissue is handled through established collection, transport, processing, and quality procedures.
Meaningful Purpose
Eligible tissue may have an opportunity to support medical applications rather than simply being discarded.
The Organization Behind the Program
My Placenta Gift Is a Program of Celquest LLC
Celquest LLC, the organization behind My Placenta Gift, is led by physicians with expertise in maternal-fetal medicine and pediatrics and more than 25 years of experience working with birth tissue. Its hospital-based donation programs offer mothers a way to give eligible placental and umbilical cord tissue a meaningful second purpose.
As an AATB-accredited, FDA-registered tissue recovery organization, Celquest LLC works with hospital teams to coordinate informed consent, donor screening, tissue recovery, and responsible handling. Quality and compliance professionals, donor coordinators, and recovery specialists support each step while the care of mother and baby comes first.
Donated tissue may support the development of products for wound, burn, and ocular surface care, as well as biomedical research. Potential uses depend on the donation, tissue suitability, processing, and the intended use of any resulting product.
Celquest LLC is AATB accredited for birth tissue activities and is an FDA-registered tissue establishment.
Our Approach
Simple for Mothers. Carefully Coordinated.
Educate
We want mothers to understand what placenta donation is, why donated tissue may be valuable, and what the process involves before deciding whether to participate.
Coordinate
For eligible donors, the donation process is coordinated around labor and delivery while medical care remains the priority.
Give Tissue a Second Purpose
Following donation, eligible placental tissue may proceed through appropriate handling, processing, and quality procedures for potential medical applications.
Our Mission
To give mothers the opportunity to transform tissue that would otherwise be discarded into a gift with the potential to support healing and patient care.
