Living with an Ostomy? You’re Not Alone.

Adjusting to life with an ostomy can bring challenges, but support is available. The Ostomy Support Group of Southern Indiana meets on the first Sunday of every month at 2 p.m. at Daviess Community Hospital to provide a welcoming space for individuals living with an ostomy, those preparing for ostomy surgery, and their loved ones.
