OHSU Body Donation Program

The OHSU Body Donation Program has been an integral part of medical education and research in Oregon, providing the opportunity for whole body donation to those who wish to make a final, end-of-life contribution to society. The service we offer benefits not only the donors and their families but also the entire community of students and practitioners of medical science.

Excerpt from a poem written by an OHSU medical student
