ANATOMICAL GIFT PROGRAM

Advancing Medical Education Through Generous Donation

The Whole Body Anatomical Gift Program at the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell supports the education and research needs of future health professionals through whole body donation.

Anatomical study remains an essential foundation of medical education, and each donation plays a meaningful role in advancing learning, research, and patient care.
