What we do...
As an ostomy support group, we offer moral and educational support to those who are facing or have had ostomy surgery. It is perfectly normal to have fear, anxiety and concern for your new lifestyle. We offer support through monthly meetings. We can also arrange to have a fellow ostomate visit you either before or after surgery.
Who do I call when I need help...
There are many questions and anxieties when beginning life with an ostomy. Our group will help to answer these questions while providing support and understanding.
