Thank you for being a UOAA Affiliated Support Group. Our support groups embody our vision of having a society where people with intestinal or urinary diversions are universally accepted and supported socially, economically, medically and psychologically.

Your contact at the national office for all ASG related questions is Jennifer Polisner, UOAA’s Office and Program Coordinator. Jennifer can be reached at oa@ostomy.org or 800-826-0826.

To provide guidance and assist ASG leaders with facilitating their support group, UOAA has developed a comprehensive manual titled “ASG In A Box.” The information provided in this manual extends from starting a group, topics for meetings including educational webinars, creating a website and social media presence, newsletter templates and much more.

This manual is a benefit of your affiliation with UOAA and is password protected. Please contact the UOAA national office at info@ostomy.org or 800-826-0826 to obtain your password.

Each month an ASG group is highlighted in our e-newsletter to share an event, news, meeting ideas and more. If you’d like your ASG featured, please contact Ed Pfueller, UOAA’s Communication Manager at ed.pfueller@ostomy.org or 800-826-0826.

We would be happy to email the e-newsletter directly to your members. Please complete the form below to add each of your members or they can also contact info@ostomy.org to be added to our database.
