Case Western Reserve University works with families in the Cleveland, Ohio and surrounding areas (Ashtabula County, Cuyahoga County, Huron County, Lake County, Lorain County, Medina County, Summit County) who wish to help in the field of science and provide medical students with a critical learning experience. For over 40 years, the Department of Anatomy in the School of Medicine has been a trusted source for those looking to donate a body.

Donating your body after death to the School of Medicine at Case Western Reserve University is a generous and selfless act which provides a lasting legacy of education. Knowledge of the human body through dissections is an indispensable part of education for future physicians, professors, and other healthcare professionals. The insight gained from these experiences helps to benefit future generations and change the world as we know it.
