What We Do
Mission Statement
The Regina and District Ostomy Society is a non-profit mutual support society for the benefit of people who have had or are about to have intestinal or urinary diversion surgery. We are a chapter of the Ostomy Canada Society. Our purpose is:
- To help people with intestinal and/or urinary diversions to lead full and productive lives and to provide information and emotional support to their families and caregivers.
- To educate the public about intestinal and urinary diversion surgery.
- To provide trained visitors to those who have undergone intestinal and/or urinary diversions, including preoperative and postoperative visits or phone calls, at the request of the physician or NSWOC (enterostomal therapist).
Map of Meeting Location
We provide lay visiting service, at the request of the physician, patient or Nurse Specialized in Wound, Ostomy and Continence (NSWOC), either pre-operative or post-operative or both. Our Visitor Coordinator is Ruth Suderman.
