A Timeless Gift...

Thank you for considering the gift of your remains to the Boonshoft School of Medicine for educational and/or scientific purposes.

Your gift is truly meaningful and is an act of unselfish concern for all who succeed you in life. Your selfless gesture will have an impact that goes far beyond the initial contribution to the Boonshoft School of Medicine. The immediate benefits are obvious. Students and faculty of the School of Medicine will be able to observe and document, firsthand, the detailed structure of the human form. Students will realize immediately the intricacies and variations in that form. Even more significantly, your contribution will permit future physicians as well as practicing physicians to gain a level of knowledge and understanding which may prolong or make more pleasant someone’s life.

Yours is a noble gift that will abide forever, as physicians who learn from you will train others in the future with the knowledge they have gained. In so many ways, you will contribute significantly to medical education and research and serve humankind even in death. Physicians who train at Wright State University will carry their knowledge to all parts of the world. Through them, your altruism will play a significant role in improving the quality of life of literally thousands of people.
