Ogeechee Technical College Funeral Service Education students were visited recently by Anthony Fulton, Hospital Development/Funeral Home/Coroner Liaison for LifeLink of Georgia.  LifeLink is a procurement agency which coordinates the donation of human organs and tissue when an individual, or their family, chooses to donate to benefit those in need of life-saving procedures.  “Funeral directors are often some of the first individuals to see a family after they lose a loved one.  Ensuring that funeral service personnel are familiar with organ and tissue donation, and that they support our efforts, is vital to LifeLink being capable of helping so many people,” stated Fulton. 

Fulton’s presentation was coordinated by OTC Funeral Service Education instructor, Crystal Vinson, who stated, “This information is an important part of our Embalming III class because so many of our graduates will very shortly have to deal with organ donation and those who coordinate such efforts.  It is good for them to have an idea of what to expect in dealing with these situations.”
