Chapter Has Disbanded

Meetings are no longer held.

Purpose

The Tallahassee Area Chapter was a volunteer organization composed primarily of ostomates with the purpose of supplementing the work of medical professionals by offering mutual aid and moral support through people who have learned to live with an ostomy.

Trained members visit ostomy patients in hospitals and at their homes upon request and with consent of the patient's physician. We published a newsletter, Detours, and held monthly meetings.
