Who we are:
The Ostomy Association of Greater Hartford (CT) (OAGH) is a volunteer-based non-profit support group dedicated to providing emotional support and reassurance to anyone who has or will have an intestinal or urinary diversion. Our group welcomes ostomates, family, friends and care-givers.
Where we meet:
We meet in-person during the months of May through October at the Bishops Corner Senior Center, 15 Starkel Road, West Hartford, CT (see map). During the months of November through April we meet on Zoom. For further information, please contact us at 860-667-8247 or at hartfordostomy@yahoo.com.
When we meet:
We meet at 7:00 pm on the 4th Wednesday of every month except for November and December. Meeting dates for those two months vary each year, so please call us at 860.667.8247 for specific dates.
Ostomy Friends Program:
The Ostomy Friends Program offers one-on-one support between a person who has experience living with an ostomy and a person newly adjusting to life with an ostomy. An Ostomy Friend serves as a positive role model, and support can be offered by phone or in person to address concerns of the new ostomate. To request an Ostomy Friend, please contact one of the officers listed below.
