North Sound OSTOMY

WELCOME OSTOMATES!

The North Sound Ostomy Support Group is a non-profit, volunteer-based support group dedicated to promoting quality of life for people with ostomies or continent diversions and their caregivers and families through information, support, advocacy, and collaboration.

We serve the South Skagit, Snohomish, and North King counties in Washington State.

CHRISTMAS POTLUCK PARTY

We had a great time for our annual Christmas Party at the Lake Ballinger Center.

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.
