This Ostomy Support Group celebrates the beginning of its 5th year of service to people dealing with their Ostomies. Free monthly meetings have been useful to attendees to answer their questions, to listen to medical professionals and suppliers, and to discuss new information from United Ostomy Associations of America (UOAA). Some members are certified as volunteers to visit ostomy patients at this Hospital.
