WELCOME to the OASNJ Website
The Ostomy Association of Southern New Jersey (OASNJ) is dedicated to providing information, advocacy and peer support to our members, their family and caregivers, and to the area’s intestinal and urinary diversion community at large.
We meet regularly to share experiences, provide mutual support and learn about the latest products and information for colostomy, ileostomy, urostomy and continent diversions.
Meetings
Our meetings are held on the 1st Wednesday afternoon of each month at the Moorestown Virtua Wellness Center, located at 401 Young Avenue, Moorestown, NJ 08057 (See Map) in a 1st floor conference room. Meetings begin at Noon and adjourn by 2:00 pm.
Ostomy patients, both pre and post op, and their families and friends are always welcome to attend. There is no fee to attend and refreshments are served. For more information about OASNJ, contact Lois Moskowitz at 609-707-4368 or email her at Strongcoffee1@verizon.net
