About The Ostomy Foundation
The Ostomy Foundation is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting and empowering ostomates, caregivers, families, clinicians, and communities across the United States.
We provide trusted information, human connection, and meaningful resources that help individuals navigate life with an ostomy with confidence and dignity.

Our Mission
We educate, support, and advocate to reduce stigma, expand access to care, and ensure no one faces the challenges of an ostomy alone.

Through national outreach, educational programming, and clinically informed guidance, we bridge the gap between diagnosis and understanding, isolation and community, and fear and confidence.

Our Vision
We envision a world where every ostomate lives fully, confidently, and without stigma — regardless of geography, income, background, or circumstance.

What Sets Us Apart
We are more than a support network — we are a national resource.

By combining lived experience with expert-backed guidance, we deliver education, advocacy, emergency assistance, and community connection that transforms how individuals and families live, learn, and thrive.

Unlike localized groups or product-driven organizations, our approach is rooted in both compassion and credibility, ensuring support is accessible, informed, and impactful nationwide.
