Your Feedback About AGR's Services:
Surgical Skills Suite/Bioskills Laboratory:
"I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how much we all enjoyed this morning's lab at AGR. Your presentation was fantastic...just the right level and tone for EMS providers just beginning their ALS training. As we discussed, I'm already signed up as a future donor, so I was particularly impressed with the respect and appreciation with which you treated those who have entrusted AGR with their remains. Once again, on behalf of all of our students, thanks so much to you and AGR for such a wonderful learning opportunity."
-Adam P.

Diabetes
Research
A large majority of AGR donors have a personal or family history of
diabetes.
AGR has a research client specifically studying the affects of diabetes on bone health. Many diabetic patients develop debilitating orthopedic conditions as result of this widespread disease. AGR placed many donors into this study during 2015.
