For many people, ostomy surgery gives them a new chance at life. Their ostomy empowers them to manage challenging symptoms, provides stability to daily routines, and allows them to do things they could not do prior to illness. Ostomy Awareness Day gives us an opportunity to come together to raise awareness and share the incredible journey of patients after their surgery. If you would like to share your unique journey and help raise awareness, we would love to hear from you.
Stoma Stickers are a great way to raise awareness, start a conversation, or show support. Request your free stoma sticker today!

We are here to help you with information and education so you can live your best life with an ostomy. If you would like to receive more information about how to care for your ostomy, click below to receive our monthly newsletter.
We believe knowledge is power – knowing more about living with an ostomy, or the products and resources available to you.
Healthy skin around your stoma not only helps your pouching system adhere properly, but also may improve your quality of life. Taking special care to improve and preserve skin health may help you feel comfortable with your ostomy.
Living with an ostomy doesn’t mean you have to live with stoma fluid leakage or skin irritation. See how the CeraPlus™ Line of Ostomy Products* gives your skin the advanced protection it deserves.
You may have questions about your ostomy and how to keep on living the life you want to live, but you don’t have to figure it out on your own. We are here to help.
We’re here for you on Ostomy Awareness Day and every other day.
Receive updates about helpful ideas, tips, and products.
