Ostomy Support Group in PA/MD and other states. Everyone is welcome!

Hi All,



I have found there are not many support groups in PA that meet at a minimum once a month. I would like to start a support group and would like to know if there are anyone out there interested in joining. I want to make sure there is a need and if there would be people who would like to attend.



The meetings would be a min of once a month. We could have outings/ fishing shopping etc. This would not be just a gather once a month and go home. We would get connected with others as well as with our families. This is not a dating service but if you would meet someone at the grouping that would be great. Families would be welcome at the outings if you wish.



This would be a great way to meet others without the scary part of meeting one on one. If you live in area states you would definitely be welcome to attend. It is open to anyone.



Let me know what you think!

Peg- Count me in - I have looked around also and can't come up with anything- I have some connections at York Hospital I could see if they have anything to help you get this started and I would be very happy to help :)

Peg, Although it is a well meant seemingly no brainer thing to do, pulling a support group together takes a maximum effort. First and foremost is the geographical chalanges, it would be wonderful if everyone lived close. If your serious give it your all and I will try to help. Otherwise to everyone I cannot recommend enough that you attend the UOAA National Conferences
