Ostomy Support Group, Northern Virginia

The Ostomy Support Group of Northern Virginia is a volunteer organization composed primarily of ostomates. Its purpose is to offer mutual aid and support through people who have learned to live with an ostomy, educational programs and materials to keep us informed of historical and cutting-edge advancements in medical technology, and advocacy to promote the needs of ostomates. 

Meetings are held on the first Sunday of every month at 1:30 PM at Inova Fairfax Hospital in the Physicians Conference Center. There is no admission fee. An ostomy nurse is present for help and advice at every meeting. The meetings are open to anyone interested. Park in the Blue garage. Fellowship begins at 1:30 PM, and the meeting begins at 2 PM. 

A newsletter, The Pouch, is available, as well as training and advocacy.  Contact can be through email on the website.
