Lake County Ostomy Association Ostomy Association of Greater Chicago Ostomy Support Group of DuPage County Southwest Suburban Chicago Ostomy Support Group
Our Purpose The United Ostomy Association of Chicago is a group of independently managed volunteer organizations. We are composed primarily of people with ostomies for the purpose of offering mutual emotional aid and support through people who have learned to live with an ostomy; educational programs and materials to keep us informed of the historical as well as cutting edge advancements in medical technology; and advocacy to communicate and promote the needs of people with ostomies . . . everywhere.
Programs Our Visitor Program is one of our most important works. Trained members visit ostomy patients in hospitals, at their homes or on the phone to answer non-medical questions about ostomy issues. We publish newsletters, one of which The New Outlook is contained herein in an electronic version, so everyone may stay current about happenings at our associations as well as receive ostomy information that is relevant to us. We all have monthly general meetings, which feature programs of special interest for people with ostomies and allows us to get together and just talk about our new life with an ostomy.
