Welcome to Ostomy Connection of Charlotte, NC.
We are a local support group for people that have colostomies, ileostomies or urostomies. Our
purpose is to provide encouragement, information and support that will enable you to return to a
normal healthy lifestyle following ostomy surgery.

We meet several times a year and invite a guest speaker who provides useful information on
various topics.

We are looking forward to serving the Ostomy community another great and successful year.  In
2009,  We were able to help hundreds by donating supplies and providing assistance with their
needs and questions.

Our next meeting will be held on Tuesday August 17th at 7PM at Presbyterian Matthews
Hospital.   
The program is called "Icebreakers."  Please join us for some fun activities as we
meet ostomates who are new to the OCC and get to know each other better.  Lets talk to those
who share our "ups and downs" of life with ostomy !

We need YOU - come join us !

Here is additional help if you are planning to travel by airplane.  Use this
