Akron Area Ostomy Association
Akron Area Ostomy Association at a Glance
A Bit of Background
The Akron Area Ostomy Association is first and foremost a support group for those dealing with an ostomy surgery and for those anticipating such a surgery. We meet monthly on the fourth Wednesday of the month from August through November and January through May at the Western Reserve Hospital in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. We get together at a local restaurant for our December and June meetings. Anyone is welcome to join us at our meetings. Membership in AAOA is not a requirement to attend.

DONATE OSTOMY SUPPLIES
​
For various reasons, individuals have unused ostomy supplies and wish to donate them to those in need. To do so, contact any officer of AAOA, or ship them to Friends of Ostomates Worldwide-USA. Information about FOW-USA can be found at their web site by clicking on the link button below.
