OSTOMY FAIR
We had a great time last month for our second annual Ostomy Awareness Day and Vendor Fair. Thanks to all the attendees, speakers, vendors, nurses, and all who helped make this event a great success.
OSTOMY ACADEMY
Have an ostomy mental health question? Register for our November Ostomy Academy to submit it in advance of the broadcast.
In this program, counselor and ostomate Michael Esteban Gerald will discuss the concept of healthy adjustment to ostomy surgery and how one might achieve a fulfilling life with an ostomy.
UOAA VIRTUAL OSTOMY CLINIC
Ostomies change bodies and lives. People living with an ostomy need personalized suggestions and ongoing support from medical experts who really understand ostomies. In the healthcare system today, too many ostomates do not have the regular access to a certified ostomy nurse they need for a successful health journey. This is why UOAA has partnered with The Wound Company – to bring certified ostomy nurses to ostomates and their caregivers across the United States virtually.
