Resources and Links

As a new ostomate, it is important to have access to reputable resources. It is also important that we pass what we learn on to others. While this is not an inclusive list, below are resources that I have found helpful. If you have more resources to share or a site and/or organization of your own you would like shared here, please email us at: info@ostomyinnovations222.com so we can add them. Sharing is caring!

The United Ostomy Association (UOAA), contains a ton of information for ostomates. Not only does it contain valuable knowledge, but it has information on self-advocacy tools such as The Ostomy and Continent Diversion Patient Bill of Rights and a Restroom Communication Card. Here are the links:

UOAA website: ostomy.org
