Featured Story

“It took sixteen years before Jeff met someone else with an ostomy. He recalls being the youngest attendee at his first support group meeting. He finally found others who understood. Jeff could talk about things he had only experienced in isolation. With his family's support, this group served as a form of therapy to help him cope with the physical and emotional challenges of living with an ostomy.”
