UOA Ostomy Care Guides

The publications below, many available in both English and Spanish, were produced by the United Ostomy Association (UOA), which was the volunteer-based national ostomy organization in the United States from 1962 to 2005. UOA shut down in Fall of 2005 and released its copyrights on these publications, which are now in the public domain. Some of these documents still include UOA contact information. UOA cannot be contacted because it no longer exists; however, UOA's old toll-free phone number (800-826-0826) now reaches the new national ostomy organization, the United Ostomy Associations of America (UOAA) which has been formed to fill the void left by UOA's dissolution. All documents below are in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format (Get Adobe Reader, if necessary).
