Who We Are
Welcome to the website of Ostomy Saskatchewan. You may be here because you or someone you know is having ostomy surgery, or because you already have an ostomy and would like to learn about new things. No matter the reason, we are here to offer support and help to you, your family, and friends. Many people have never heard of the word ostomy before, and talking about bowel movements and bladder and urine might be uncomfortable for some. However, we are here to provide a safe space to talk about these things and offer support in any way we can.

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.
