Patient One, Rhea Ettinger was the first person stored in Michigan. She has been “on ice” since 1977.

Her son, Robert Ettinger, was the founder of the Cryonics Institute. He along with both his first and second wives are frozen here.

Another famous US Cryo site is the Alcor Life Extension Foundation in Arizona.
