Ostomy care
Our outpatient ostomy care team provides patients with
long-term essential care from a certified ostomy care
nurse (COCN) or a certified wound, ostomy and
continence nurse (CWOCN) specialist.
Our specialists provide care for every stage of the
ostomy process:
• Preoperative visits – In addition to preparing for
surgery and stoma site marking, we help you adjust
to life with an ostomy and address your medical,
social and emotional concerns.
• Postoperative visits – We offer follow-up care and
education to help you cope as you recover and adjust
to changes in your daily life.
• Long-term maintenance and support – We provide
guidance for patients who have lived for years with
an ostomy. Our staff supports you through any
medical, social and emotional issues related to your
condition.
