Ceremony recognizes anatomical gift donors















During a ceremony on Friday, first-year physician assistant, physical therapy and medical students honored 104 people who donated their bodies to be used for research and training at UNMC.

The donors’ families were honored as well at the 2008 Anatomical Gift Program Memorial Service, which drew more than 300 people to Westside Community Conference Center in Omaha.

The ceremony included music from a student choir and a rose ceremony during which a rose for each person who donated his or her body was given to a loved one.
