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. except in April. We will be meeting on April 26th to not interrupt your Easter weekend. The dates can be found on the Our meetings page. The meeting location is the Masonic Lodge at 1145 Highland Avenue in Largo Florida.
