About Us

---

Our mission is to provide every university in need with the resources necessary to inspire the next generation of scientists, doctors and educators. Through our work, we aim to encourage and motivate students to explore careers in science and medicine.

All of our work is done in strict compliance with federal and state regulations, including the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act (UAGA), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and all industry standards. Our company is a freestanding organization licensed by the Oregon Health Authority.

Our focus on improving the health and wellness of all human beings is the principle that guides our work day to day. Everything we do is done with the highest level of integrity and respect for our donors. Each donation is conducted with absolute care and safety as our top priority, ensuring the dignity, efficacy and lasting impact of the anatomical gifts entrusted to us.

For grief and bereavement support, we strongly recommend the following reputable resources and organizations: Verywell Health and The Grief Recovery Method.

We are a company that facilitates medical advancements through the exploration of the human body. Body donation is an integral part of the modern healthcare system. The anatomical gifts of our donors provide scientists and physicians with the resources necessary to advance medical education and inspire the next generation of scientists and physicians.

Because of anatomical donations, researchers and educators have been able to develop better techniques to combat the limitations that afflict human beings today. These innovations include brain disease research, cancer treatments, reconstructive surgery techniques, medical implant development, and much more.

We believe that donors and their families should have a transparent understanding of how anatomical gifts are used and why body donations is so important to medical education. The selfless gifts of our donors educate the next generation of students and physicians.

In 2021, we conducted a survery of universities, research laboratories and surgeon training organizations to highlight the important work that is made possible by body donation. The feedback we received also demonstrates the ongoing need for anatomical gifts to make future education and research possible.
