Please click here to learn more about this special action alert. There is a toolkit with instructions and links to each state’s process. There is also a map to see the progress we are making across the country.
Make your state part of the movement this October by asking your governor to issue a state proclamation or letter of support for Ostomy Awareness Day on October 5, 2024!
Please let us know if you submit a request with your governor at advocacy@ostomy.org and we will change your state’s status on the map.
