President’s Welcome

Warm welcome to South Florida Ostomy Support Group web site. We hope the information found on this page will be of great help, and hope we can provide education and comfort to all ostomates and their families. We are one of hundreds of ostomy support chapters throughout the United States associated with the United Ostomy Associations of America (UOAA). Undergoing an ostomy surgery presents challenges and carries misunderstanding by ostomates and the general public. If you are contemplating surgery and have questions, we would like you to visit us.

Meetings:

The group meets virtually every third Wednesday of each Month from 6-7pm. Summer break July–August. Each meeting we will have Wound and Ostomy Care nurses to help answer questions, supplier personnel to help with any concerns regarding supplies, doctors to answer questions, and other speakers from the medical field. We look forward to meet you at our next meeting, and be encouraged to know that you are not alone.

How do I Join?

There is no application or cost for membership to the South Florida Ostomy Support Group UOAA Chapter. However we do encourage our members to subscribe to The Phoenix ostomy magazine.
