We welcome all ostomates and/or people who are fed enterally through a tube into their stomach or intestines and those who are parenterally fed intravenously through a central line. We are the ONLY support group of this kind in the USA.
Our mission is to give community, confidence, emotional, social and psychological support to those individuals living with medical devices on their abdomen and chest. We encourage everyone to live their lives to the fullest!
