Visiting Services
Ostomy Saskatchewan provides a lay visiting service, at the request of the physician, patient or Nurse Specialized in Wound, Ostomy and Continence (NSWOC), either pre-operative or post-operative or both. The trained visitor is chosen according to the patient’s age, gender, and type of surgery. A visit may be arranged by calling the Visitor Program Coordinator, Ruth Suderman. Don’t hesitate to contact Ruth at [email protected] or 306-450-4690 to arrange a visit.
Also, anyone who has had their ostomy for more than a year could qualify as a certified visitor. If you are interested or have any questions about this please contact Ruth.
