Noon til 2:00 PM

Meeting Room # 3  Off the atrium

Diagonally across from the cafeteria.

So grab some lunch or bring some and

join us as Mike Vezeau helps us help ourselves and

others as they live life to the fullest with an ostomy: 

As Mike tells us: “All of us Ostomates have, at one point or another, had an issue which we needed to handle.  We probably initially talked to our medical services people and gathered all of the info we could to address the situation.  In addition, we probably discussed it at one of the support group meetings or, if we were lucky enough to attend, a regional Wound Care/Ostomy Nurse or National United Ostomy Association of America meeting.  Hopefully, we were then exposed to someone else who had a similar experience and they shared how they were able to overcome the issue.  We all think that our experience(s) are highly unique to us alone but , in reality, they are probably far more common that we expect.  So, at our June 11th meeting, bring the issues you may have experienced and share both the issue and how you remedied the situation.  We all will gain…especially those who are recent ostomates as they are just now taking the early steps in life with an ostomy.  All will benefit from learning the ‘tricks of the ostomy trade’. ”
