IIAM is proud to debut the Virtual Donor Memorial

The IIAM Virtual Donor Memorial is a Flash memorial created to honor those who have donated their gifts to research and medical education through IIAM. It is with awe, solemnity, admiration and gratitude that we view the pictures, read the stories, and pay tribute to these donors. Please share in the memory of their gifts with us.

IIAM provides a link between humanity and medical discovery:
IIAM honors the wishes of donors and their families wanting to contribute to medical research and education. Simultaneously, IIAM provides researchers with the human tissue needed to find cures for disease, improve treatments and techniques, and develop novel drugs and medical devices.

Since 1986, the International Institute for the Advancement of Medicine (IIAM) has become one of the largest recovery and placement networks in the world for the acquisition of donated human tissue for medical research and education.

IIAM works with:
  • Organ procurement organizations
  • Tissue banks
  • Hospitals
  • Hospice programs
  • Funeral directors
  • Medical examiners
  • Individual organ and tissue donors in the U.S. by offering donation for research & education
