This page lists the UOAA Affiliated Support Groups (ASGs) that have websites. This is not, however, a complete list of all our ASGs. To find the group closest to you, please use our
where you can enter your Zip Code to locate nearby ASGs. At the bottom of the page below, we also list Virtual Groups which are regarded as ASGs and are national in scope.
We provide web links for all affiliated support groups with websites that we know about. If you belong to an affiliated group that has a website but we haven’t included you on this page, please let us know so we can add a link to your site. Also, if you belong to an affiliated group that doesn’t have a website, please note that we can build you a (very simple) web page which will be part of the UOAA website. The links in italics on this page denote pages of this type that we’ve built for some of our ASGs.
If you belong to an ostomy or continent diversion support group that hasn’t affiliated with UOAA yet, please affiliate your group with us!
