Iii. 2019 statistics: a. Donors 1. There was a total of 1868 donors in 2019 (an increase of 371 donors over 2018; and a repeated increase of 8% from the year before). 2. 41.3% of the donors were again from agfs home state of maryland in 2019 (a 0% change from 2018). 3. 36.4 % were from neighboring states (a 1.1% increase over the prior year) 4. Approximately 22.5 % were from states out of the region; where donor transportation costs are most high. (a 0.8% increase over last year) 5. Note: we also took calls and reviewed medical records for an additional 336 un-registered deceased persons whose next-of-kin wanted to donate them after their death; but were not accepted as a donor due to presence of contagious disease in the medical histories or due to unacceptable condition. This was a 7% increase over 2018. B. Future donors: in 2019, an additional 1275 applicants (representing an overall 2% increase from that in 2018) were pre-registered with agf to be future donors (974 being people signing up using first person/willed and 272 future donors needing authorization after death 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.

The breakdown by type was: a. Physician / surgeon training: 18 sessions (5 less than 2018) b. Rescue / life-saving / ems training (anatomy and procedure practicum labs: 30 sessions (10 less than 2018; 25% decrease). C. Student /anatomy and procedure practicum lab events (includes high school level, college level and physician assistant education sessions): with a total of 69 labs in this genre (nearly double the number in 2018). Note: the main reason for the decrease in number of in-house events (and in-house specimen use) from 2018 is that we are are still trying to fill the second position vacated in 2017. D.
