Multimedia: Maryland’s Anatomical Donors Day

June 17, 2008

On Monday afternoon, before the rain came pouring down, a burial service was held for Marylanders who donated their bodies to science last year.

The service is an annual occasion, held to recognize the vital donations – and unclaimed bodies – that are used by Maryland’s medical and dental students for education and research. The service was held at Springfield Hospital Center in Sykesville.

A proclamation from the Governor’s Office declared June 16 to be “Anatomical Donor Appreciation Day” in Maryland.

Friends and family of the donors were invited to attend the interdenominational service, which was coordinated by the State Anatomy Board and Springfield Hospital Center’s Office of Volunteer Services.

Multimedia Reporter Richard Simon caught up with a number of medical students and family members at the service.
