The United Ostomy Associations of America has a program to help our Affiliated Support Groups (ASGs) with topics that will help their group develop specific aspects of their support and information to local members.
Each topic has a designated “expert” who is willing to give assistance about the specific topic. Any ASG can contact these volunteers directly for assistance. Listed below are the designated topics and our volunteer experts.

More UOAA Services for your ASG

UOAA can build a web page for your ASG. If your group doesn’t have a website of its own and would rather not expend the resources to build one, UOAA can provide you with a basic one-page site which will be part of the UOAA website and linked from your group's name on our Support Group list. Your page can contain generic meeting information and contact info, but nothing that would need to be updated very often. If interested, contact Joan McGorry, UOAA’s Director of Administrative Services.

To include the UOAA logo in your group’s publications, see our page of High Resolution UOAA Logos for Printing. To include the logo in your group’s website, you may use one of the lower resolution versions on our Affiliation page.
