Port Washington Public Library

In this talk, medical anthropologist Dr. Konstantinos Mountrakis of the NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine will explore the history of anatomical donation in the United States, its role in training future healthcare providers, and how donation is understood by donors and their families.
The presentation will address both commonly discussed motivations and less frequently acknowledged concerns, including religious, familial, and emotional considerations. Emphasizing transparency and respect, the speakers aim to foster informed community dialogue around posthumous contribution to medical education.
