About the Ostomy Manitoba Association
Our mission statement
Ostomy Manitoba Association Inc. (OMA) is a volunteer-based organization dedicated to assisting all persons facing life with gastrointestinal or urinary diversions by providing emotional support, experienced and practical help, instructional and informational services through its membership, to the family unit, associated care givers and the general public.
What we do
-
We hold monthly meetings from September to May where our members can exchange information and experiences with each other. We also run groups for spouses and significant others (SASO) and a young person’s group (Stomas R Us).
​
-
We publish our newsletter, Inside/Out, eight times a year.
​
-
We collect surplus ostomy supplies in Manitoba and ship them to developing countries through Friends of Ostomates Worldwide (Canada). To arrange a pickup of unused ostomy supplies, call
204 237-2022 and leave a message.
Membership
Anyone with an intestinal or urinary tract diversion, or others who have an interest in OMA, such as relatives, friends and medical professionals, can become a member.
​
OMA is committed to ensuring that the ostomy journey is as seamless as possible, and membership is a great way to experience this firsthand. Don’t hesitate to join OMA and discover the many benefits that come with being part of this community.
