Our Goal
The goal of the OCC is to provide support for the person that has undergone ostomy surgery.
We are committed to providing the ostomate, their family and friends with an atmosphere that is
non-threatening, open,honest and supportive. We plan to accomplish this by:
1- Continuing to produce the NEW LIFE newsletter 6 times a year
2- Continuing to provide ostomy visitors to new ostomy patients when requested
3- Establish a website for the local support group
4- Provide social gatherings to promote support and bonding within the group
5- Provide helpful educational meetings which reflect the needs of the patient with an ostomy
6- Reach out to smaller support groups in the surrounding Charlotte area and include them in
social and educational events
7- Encourage membership to subscribe to the Phoenix magazine published by the UOAA.
