We are people with ostomies and their spouses. We are dedicated to the mutual aid and moral support of Ostomates and their families, and to assisting in the rehabilitation of persons who have had ostomy surgery. We do this through our visiting program, bimonthly newsletters, The Ostomy Quarterly magazine, monthly meetings, and educational programs. East Texas Medical Center Hospital in Garden Room B accessed through the Hospital Cafeteria Meetings are open to new ostomates, families, and other interested individuals.
Programs are informative and interesting.
