OUR STORY

On a journey to celebrate the strength of every person with an ostomy.

Ostomy/Connection is a niche media company that creates specialized content for a chosen audience.

With a myriad of voices, we are defining ostomy life by sharing our opinions and experiences.

We are the destination for ostomates.

Like our diverse readers, our team hails from a wide array of backgrounds. What we all have in common is lifesaving surgery — we are connected.

Most of all, we understand there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to ostomy life. Only you know what works best. But when you’re in an exclusive club like ours, staying connected is important, and that’s why we’re here for you.

We’re a mighty team of thinkers, doers, creators, writers, advocates, and of course, ostomates.

When O​/C launched​ in 2015, we had a solid viewpoint about our role in media. The “hub” we’re creating is very intentional, but it’s the social mission that guides us.

A clear and compelling purpose drives our exceptional editorial team and contributors. We lead with determination and vision.

Our goal has always been to demonstrate that specialized content provides exceptional value and that inspirational stories do good in the world.

We bring trusted expertise to every story. As a niche publisher, we answer only to you, our readers, and depend on your support to keep O/C going for future generations.

What can we create together?

As a reader-funded publication, we rely on people like you to invest in our work. Join the movement to support independent niche media. No dollar amount is too small.
