End of life decisions involving our bodies can lead us to choose a path which helps others in need. In Part 2 of our exploration on options for our bodies at end of life we will hear from representatives of organizations that assist in body and organ donation.

Colleen Brand, is the Volunteer Coordinator for Gift of Life. Gift of Life, headquartered in Philadelphia,  coordinates the recovery of organs and tissues for transplant. The complex organ and tissue donation and transplant process involves collaborating with highly skilled medical professionals at many different levels.
