Outpatient Care and Support for Ostomy Patients – Hoag’s Ostomy Care Program offers patients the education and support to successfully manage their ostomies so they can resume normal daily activities. We strive to provide ostomates with all components of high quality care. Our Certified Ostomy Nurses are available to patients to provide expert care, presurgery and postsurgery education, as well as support. The services available through Hoag range from pre-operative site markings, presurgery education on ostomy products, as well as an outpatient clinic that ostomates can receive education on home care management. Our ostomy program is designed to give ostomates the best possible surgical and quality of life outcomes.
