What Is Whole-Body Donation?
Whole-body donation means giving your body, after death, to medical research and education. It is a profound gift. In Mesa and across the East Valley, that gift helps future doctors learn anatomy firsthand, helps surgeons practice the procedures that save lives, and helps researchers understand the diseases that touch so many families here.

What Happens After Donating a Body to Science in Mesa
Once a donation is approved, UTN works with local Arizona organ donation organizations so that any organs suitable for transplant are used first. The donor is then cared for by a trusted UTN partner facility for medical research and education. When that work concludes, UTN arranges cremation and returns the ashes to the family at no cost, typically within four to six weeks.
