LEWISBURG (WVDN) – The Lewisburg Rotary Club hosted Dr. Jacob Neumann of the human gift registry at the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine at its regular weekly meeting on Monday, May 9.
Neumann presented information regarding the process for donating human remains to benefit medical research. The gift of a human body can become a gift of life to others who benefit from anatomical training by health care professionals. Individuals located within 200 miles of WVSOM can donate their physical remains at no cost to the donor, and the remains are treated with the utmost respect and dignity while used in medical training. Some medical conditions can preclude donation of remains. Anyone interested in the program should contact the Human Gift Registry at WVSOM for additional information about eligibility and registration.
Also at the May 9 meeting, the Lewisburg Rotary Club welcomed new members Sarah Polk and Andrew Ickes.
