The Purpose of the Ostomy Association of Orange County, a non-profit volunteer organization, is to assist and reassure all persons who come within the scope of Ostomy surgery.

Our Meetings are held on the second Sunday of each month (except in August and December when we are dark) and on the third Sunday in the month of May because of Mother’s Day. We meet at 2:00 p.m. at the UC Irvine Manchester Pavilion, 200 S. Manchester Ave, Orange, CA 92868 (Located at the corner of W. Chapman and Manchester Ave – see map). Our meeting room is on the 8th floor. At each meeting we have WOCN nurses available to assist with questions or concerns. We urge you to join us and to be encouraged by others who have journeyed down the same road.

Our Newsletter, the Orange Oasis, is published ten times a year, with issues monthly except in January and August. We invite your news or articles, etc., which must be received by the 15th of the month prior to the month of publication.
