Total Media Group Records the “Banking on Life” Conference for Cord Blood Registry
Total Media Group provided video production services for Cord Blood Registry, under the direction of Christine McMurry, Director of Communications. The medical conference “Banking on Life” was sponsored by Cord Blood Registry and the Center for Bioethics & Culture Network. The event, held in Burlingame, California was highlighted by the appearance of Congresswoman Jackie Speier, a longtime advocate of women and children’s health. Speier represents California’s 12th district, known as the birthplace of biochemistry.
Cord Blood Registry offers services to collect and store cord blood, the blood remaining in the baby’s umbilical cord after the cord has been severed. Doctors have discovered that cord blood is a rich source of unique stem cells and can be used in various medical treatments for conditions such as brain injuries and juvenile diabetes.
Shingo Kohara was the director of photography and Tony Jensen the audio technician for Total Media Group.
