The Visiting Program was the flagship program of the United Ostomy Association. Although UOA has shut down, nearly all of UOA’s former chapters continue to provide a Visiting Program. This has offered person-to-person support to people undergoing ostomy or related surgery, as well as their family members, so they can achieve optimal physical and social rehabilitation.

To schedule a visit, you may contact one of the former UOA Chapters or one of the former UOA Networks.
