The hosp I recently worked for (retired now) just started a donor milk program with the HMBANA banks in San Jose and Denver. The people who run those banks said they have a current tissue license so their client hospitals don't need one.

Unless the Powers That Be are changing the rules and creating redundancy of licenses.

However the hospital was considering becoming a "depot?" or receiving point to make donations to a HMBANA bank. It would involve having the donor mothers do their blood tests in the hosp lab prior to sending their donated milk to the milk bank in packaging supplied by the milk bank. Until the minimum 100 oz lot is reached, the donated milk would be stored in a hospital freezer. I don't know if that changes the rules. Don't know why it would when the hospital is just a go-between. It's the milk bank that actually opens the milk containers, handles and processes and tests the milk.

I was just lecturing in a state where it is now necessary to have a tissue
bank license in order to use donor human milk (besides Ca and NY) - I think
it was Maryland. Is that correct? I can't find my notes!
