Who We Are:
We are an affiliated support group of the United Ostomy Associations of America, a volunteer association dedicated to the support of ostomates and their families.
What We Do:
Our meetings provide much needed information to new and future ostomates while providing support for post-operative members and families. We offer ostomy care information through guest speakers, supplier representatives and round table discussions. We share and learn through group discussions that are provided in a safe and confidential environment.
