Welcome to Portland Indiana’s Ostomy Support Group web page. We are affiliated with the United Ostomy Associations of America (UOAA). We are dedicated to providing education, information, advocacy, and services to ostomates, their families, friends, and caregivers, and to the intestinal and urinary diversion communities at large.

Meetings:

We meet monthly on the 2^nd Thursday of each month in Conference Room B at IU Health Jay Hospital, 500 W Votaw Street, Portland IN 47371 (map). Doors open at 5:30pm to allow for socialization prior to the start of the meeting if interested; the group meetings take place from 6–7pm. Refreshments are available as well. There is no application or cost for membership.

Our meetings include informal round table discussions on topics of interest, new product demonstrations, occasional guest speakers, and a question and answer session with a Certified Ostomy Care Nurse (COCN). We welcome ostomates, their families, friends, and caregivers. Meetings are facilitated by Heather Morehous BSN, RN, COCN and sponsored by IU Health Jay Hospital.
