Shaun Heath from the Mayo Clinic will be at the Mower County Senior Center at 1 p.m. on Wednesday to inform you of their body donation program.

The gift of your body to Mayo Clinic is valued, honored and respected. The study of human anatomy is one of the most important courses in the education of physicians, nurses and all health care professionals.

Body donation plays a critical role in helping medical and health science students master the complexity of human anatomy.

Each donation contributes directly to new understandings and discoveries that benefit future patients. The need for body donations is great and each gift is valued, honored and respected. If you are considering the possibility of body donation or would just like to get more information please come to this informative class. It is free and open to the public.

Sign up for this class by stopping by the senior center or calling 507-433-2370 to reserve your space.
