~Established in 1960~
The Cleveland Ostomy Association is a volunteer, non-profit organization, dedicated to providing support, education, and information to those of all ages who have or will have an ostomy or a continent diversion procedure. We hope to bring ostomates, their families, and their friends the light of hope and the hand of friendship through visitation and rehabilitation.
Our chapter meetings are open to everyone. Support, sharing, caring, camaraderie, and education are what our meetings are all about. An ostomy nurse is present to answer any questions you may have. We need all ostomates and their families and friends to attend meetings. You never know when your story will help someone else. We all relate to different personalities, so bring yours and be an encouragement!
