Remembering those Who Gave a Remarkable Gift

There’s a new landmark on the OHSU campus…one that recognizes an outstanding group of people.

This week, OHSU installed a new memorial to recognize those who donated their remains to OHSU’s body donation.

This incredible generosity helps train Oregon’s future physicians and it also aids health research.

The monument was installed just prior to an annual memorial service for those who donated, both students and families attend.

Here’s what is inscribed on the granite marker :
