A partner for lifelong health
Who we are
The Ostomy Association of LMH Health is an affiliate of the United Ostomy Associations of America. We support people with ostomy and continent diversions, their families and caregivers.

The Ostomy Support Group is free and open to the public. We meet on the second Thursday of each month from 5:30 to 7 p.m. virtually. Please contact Candice using the “more information” link below to obtain the virtual connection information.
Join us to hear from speakers including surgeons, therapists, dietitians, pharmacists, ostomy care representatives and nurses. Our meetings also include light refreshments and an open forum for discussion. We welcome all ostomates, their families, friends and caregivers. Read more about our group.
