California Cryobank - Spokane

California Cryobank - Spokane is a sperm donor recruitment location of California Cryobank (CCB) in Spokane, Washington. CCB was founded in 1977, is headquartered in Los Angeles and is part of CooperSurgical. The listed address for the Spokane site is 201 West North River Drive, Suite 110. That address was previously associated with NW Cryobank, a local sperm bank that reportedly partnered with CCB.

The Spokane site is one of several CCB donor locations in the United States, along with Portland, Los Angeles, Los Altos, Cambridge, New York and North Carolina. Its main role is recruiting and qualifying sperm donors. Applicants apply online and then go through a screening process of about two to three months that includes a physical exam, genetic testing and a psychological evaluation.

Vials from qualified donors go into CCB's national donor catalog, which is used by fertility clinics and recipients in the U.S. and abroad. Intended parents order donor sperm from CCB centrally and do not choose donors through the Spokane office.
