“The anatomic gift foundation, inc., (agf) d/b/a anatomy gifts registry and cremation center of maryland, is a non-profit, 501(c)(3), organization founded in 1994. The mission of agfs caring and compassionate program is to serve meritorious research scientists, clinicians, and medical educators with expertly prepared, safe, and efficacious, human anatomical specimens gifted from donors and donor families participating in our whole body donor program. Agf also serves the donors and their families by providing services relating to the donation process; including, but not limited to: obtaining informed consent / authorization for donation within established legal hierarchy, acquiring vital statistic information for purposes of filing a death certificate, transportation of the deceased from the place of death to our facility, perform cremations and provide ashes to the family (for their memento, internment, scattering), resources regarding grief counseling, etc.”

“E.agf has had 2 new staff-members become certified crematory operators and permitted by the maryland board of morticians after extensive training and examination. F.agf passed all safety and environmental inspections by various entities, i.e., fire marshall, maryland department of environment (both air & radiation), etc. G.agf has continued its quality systems; which include regular auditing and reporting of findings. H.agf has had increases in number of donors and donor families served, increases in types of services provided, and increases in number of clients served; without a net increase in staff numbers. Iii. 2017 statistics: a.donors 1.there were a total of 1393 donors in 2017 (an increase of 96 donors over 2016; and an increase of 7%). 2.47% of the donors were again from agf's home state of maryland in 2017 3.29.5 % were from neighboring states (a 1.5% decrease over last year) 4.approximately 23.5% were from states out of the region; where donor transportation costs are most high. (a 1.5% increase over last year) b.future donors: in 2017, an additional 1138 applicants (representing an overall 2% decrease from that in 2016) were pre-registered with agf to be future donors (817 being people signing up using first person/willed and 321 future donors needing authorization after death. The breakdown by location was 458 (a 4% increase) for maryland, 362 (a 22% decrease) regional, and 318 (4% increase) out-of-area; providing their medical & social information; as well as vital statistics information for death certificates, etc. Many were willed / first-person consent cases; while others (who are not able to make that decision due to noted cognitive disabilities (like dementia, brain tumor with memory problems, etc.) will require next-of-kin / poa authorization at the time of death. We were unable to accept 29 donor candidates at the time of applying as a donor candidate, due to a variety of reasons; but mainly due to contagious disease history. We also rejected 33 donors that were previously registered; but review of current medical information made them ineligible. At the conclusion of 2017, agf was maintaining files for (8,862) non- willed future donor cases and (20,031) willed body donor cases for a combined total of 28,893 pre-registered donors. Some have been diagnosed with a terminal illness and most others are merely planning for a future eventuality. This information is reviewed, cataloged and entered into our database for future retrieval, to assist the families at the time of death. Donor and family services coordinator staff contact our registered future donors every few years to update their medical records and next-of-kin contact information. C.tissue placement & use: 1.in-house specimen use: a total of 506 specimens were used on site with our in-house bioskills lab facility: we hosted and provided specimens for 111 lab sessions in 2017, serving hundreds of learners. The breakdown by type was: a.physician / surgeon training: 39 sessions (one more than 2016) b.rescue / life-saving / ems training (anatomy and procedure practicum labs: 31 sessions (5 less than 2016). C.student /anatomy and procedure practicum lab events (includes high school level, college level and physician assistant education sessions): with a total of 41 labs in this genre (10 less than 2016). Note: the main reason for the decrease in number of in-house events from 2016 was due to the loss of 2 seasoned staff-members in this department; which required selection and training of new staff. 2. Specimens sent off-site for use in medical research and education; both domestic and internationally, totaled 6,320. Agr provided services to 211 clients (181 domestic and 30 international clients) in 2017. 3.agr accompanied specimens to client facilities along the eastern seaboard and east of the mississippi 110 times during 2017 to facilitate proper transport (i.e. Whole bodies transported across state lines).
