UOAA VIRTUAL OSTOMY CLINIC
Ostomies change bodies and lives. People living with an ostomy need personalized suggestions and ongoing support from medical experts who really understand ostomies. In the healthcare system today, too many ostomates do not have the regular access to a certified ostomy nurse they need for a successful health journey. This is why UOAA has partnered with The Wound Company – to bring certified ostomy nurses to ostomates and their caregivers across the United States virtually.
