Who we are:

The Ostomy Association of Greater Hartford (CT) (OAGH) is a volunteer-based non-profit support group dedicated to providing emotional support and reassurance to anyone who has or will have an intestinal or urinary diversion. Our group welcomes ostomates, family, friends and care-givers.

Where we meet:

Due to COVID-19, we are currently meeting virtually using Zoom Video Conferencing. If you are interested in attending one of our virtual meetings, please contact us at 860-667-8247 or at hartfordostomy@yahoo.com.

When we meet:

We meet at 7:00 pm on the 4th Wednesday of every month except for November and December. Meeting dates for those two months vary each year, so please call us at 860.667.8247 for specific dates.

Visiting Program:

The visiting program offers one-to-one support by a trained certified visitor. Visits can be made in person to the hospital or home or via telephone to answer initial concerns of the new patient. A visitor serves as a positive role model for the new ostomate. To request a visitor, please contact one of the officers listed below.
