The
Ostomy
Association of Greater Orlando, Inc.
is an IRS 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit corporation with
“umbrella” status under our parent company, United
Ostomy Associations of America, Inc.
We are an all volunteer support group dedicated to assisting people
who have or will have intestinal or urinary tract diversions by
providing emotional support, family support, educational services,
advocacy, and promoting the services of this organization to the
public and professional communities. Members include ostomates, their
families, Wound Ostomy and Continence Nurses (WOCN), physician
advisors and other interested persons.
The purpose of the
Orlando
area support group is to aid patients and their families in the
practical and emotional adjustments to an ostomy. We offer
rehabilitation help but do not provide medical advice. Nothing in this site should be interpreted as medical advice.
Methods
used are mutual support, sharing of experiences and practical advice.
Activities
include visiting new ostomates, educational meetings, teaching through
literature and audio-visual presentations, lectures and discussions
with health care personnel and the public.
Our Support
Group
cooperates with the American Cancer Society and other organizations
