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. Please click on Meetings button to view the up coming meetings details.
We are looking forward to serving the Ostomy community another great and successful year. In
2011, We were able to help hundreds by donating supplies and providing assistance with their
needs and questions.
Our next meeting will be held on February 21st at 7PM, at CMC-Pineville. We will have ostomy
group style meeting, during the meeting we will breakup in three groups - colostomy, ileostomy
and urostomy. We will have an ostomy nurse in each group to answer any question and
discuss your favorite topic. We will be in a new room for that meeting, so please watch for
signs.
Please come prepared with your questions.
CMC - Pineville has welcomed us with open arms. We appreciate their enthusiasm and
support as we also look forward to the many benefits that this move will provide to the Pineville,
Rock Hill, Fort Mill communities. .
