People with an ostomy or j-pouch in Calgary and Alberta are invited to our next Support Group, in person or via Zoom!

Are you or someone you know living with an ostomy or j-pouch? The Calgary Ostomy Support Group is here to help! Join us on May 31 to meet other ostomates, connect, share stories, and get the resources needed to support and manage your ostomy. No one should have to go through it alone – let us help you!

We will discuss various topics to support those living with an ostomy or j-pouch, including diet, nutrition, hydration, and mental wellness. There will be a breakout room for ostomates & j-pouchers to allow for a more in-depth discussion regarding issues that differ from an ostomy to a j-pouch, including ostomy appliances and j-pouch function (dependent on attendance).
