Ostomy Awareness

Advocates for change, Representatives Leonard Lance [R-NJ] and Rush Hold [D-NJ] reintroduced, H.Res. 152, a congressional resolution recognizing the life saving role of ostomy care and prosthetics for people who have an ostomy.  Concurrently, Senator Richard Burr [R-NC] introduced S. Res. 95 which also recognizes the life saving role of ostomy care and prosthetics for people who have an ostomy.  In the current healthcare environment, it's even more important to advocate for people living with an ostomy!   Ask your Representative and Senator to support the Ostomy Resolutions!

Living with a Stoma -- The Patient Perspective is a video diary part of The Secure Start Video Diaries produced by Hollister.  Having ostomy surgery is life changing and challenging.  There two basic types: the intestinal diversion which is a colostomy and ileostomy and the urinary diversion or urostomy.  A stoma is created where you eliminate your body's waste (either stool or urine).  The stoma is a piece of bowel that is surgically attached to the abdomen and is approximately the size of a quarter.  Everyone varies in size, but the stoma is vascular and sensitive requiring a gentle touch.

Hollister's Secure Start Video Diaries can be a helpful tool in learning about ostomy surgery and how to care for yourself after surgery.  Click here to go to their link.  Living with a Stoma--The Patient Perspective.
