Organ and Body Donation: My Final Gift - Virtual
How Can I Make A Difference When I’m Gone? Many of us feel that once we no longer need our body, it would be nice for it to go to some good purpose as our final gift. But there is much confusion about what it means to donate one’s organs to save a life vs. the option to donate our whole body or organs for medical research. Can I do both? Will I get a free funeral? Am I too old to donate? Join this presentation if you are considering any of these options and you’ll be able to make an educated decision. Presenter: Sue Mackey of Out of the Box End-of-Life Planning.
