Welcome
You are not alone
The Central Ohio United Ostomy Association is a nonprofit organization of people living with ostomies. While the surgeon does the surgery and the ET Nurse shows you the appliances, we help you live with it.
What is an Ostomy?
An ostomy refers to a surgically created opening in the body that allows for the discharge of bodily wastes, the most common being colostomy, ileostomy, and urostomy.
