About Us...
We are a 501c3, non-profit organization looking to provide local support and education to those living in the Tampa Bay area contemplating an Ostomy or who already have one. We are an affiliate support group of the United Ostomy Associations of America.
​
Our meetings are open to new ostomates, experienced ostomates, caregivers, families, healthcare workers, support persons, nursing students, social workers and anyone who has a connection with ostomies and would like to join us.
We welcome you all!
​
Our meetings are held the 3rd Saturday of each month at 10:30 a.m. The dates can be found on the Our meetings page. The meeting location is normally the Masonic Lodge at 1145 Highland Avenue in Largo Florida, but there has been an emergency venue change due to air conditioning issues. The meeting will be held at the Largo Public Library at 120 Central Park Drive, Largo Florida.
