Many people living with an ostomy are either worried about developing a parastomal hernia or already have one. Tune into our next Ostomy Academy on March 12 to hear colorectal surgeon Jenny R. Speranza discuss prevention, types of surgical repairs, and success rates. She’ll also be joined by WOC nurse practitioner Ashley Croft to discuss nonsurgical management and share lifestyle and diet suggestions. The speakers will field viewer questions along with Ostomy Academy Co-hosts Steve Vandevender and Amie-Leigh Reece. Register at www.ostomy.org/ostomy-academy/ for details and watch live 3/12/24 at (8PM ET, 7PM CT, 6PMT, 5PM PT). A recording will be available after the event. You can watch live on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/live/U0rL9xNeWqo?si=pdmnGNh2zNLN2teL
