University of Chicago Ostomy Support Group

Who we are:

We are a volunteer association dedicated to the support of ostomates and their families.

What we do:

Our meetings provide much needed information to new and future ostomates while providing support for post-operative members and families. We offer ostomy care information through guest speakers, supplier representatives and round table discussions. Additionally, Wound/Ostomy Nurses attend meetings to provide technical support and care advice.

Meetings (Virtual Only at this time):

By Zoom: Third Wednesday of every month at 7PM (Central).
