The association’s voluntary visitation program offers support on a one-to-one basis to patients and their families. The ostomy volunteer visitor is carefully chosen and trained. The visitor is well adjusted to his/her ostomy and is able to offer additional support and information on ostomy care and management at home.

MCOA MEETINGS

The Morris County Ostomy Association holds regular meetings the third Wednesday of every month, starting at 7:00m p.m. The evening usually involves an informal talk by a physician, a nurse specialist, a distributor of ostomy supplies, or social worker. Presentations are always on a topic of interest to the entire group. Most importantly, the meeting offers the opportunity for individuals to share information and discuss mutual interest and concerns. Families and friends of members are always welcome.

Meetings take place in the 3rd floor conference room of the Atlantic Health building at 435 South Street in Morristown. A Zoom version will also be available for members unable to attend. In some cases when the speaker is not local, the meeting will be on Zoom only.
