Nurses: Strength & Confidence Boosters

Nurses not only provide physical care for patients, but also mental and emotional support when your life changes from your condition.
Nurses are an essential part of the medical profession, taking care of many details throughout a patient’s treatment. They’re full of information for pre- and post-surgery care. An important part of your ostomy care team, you may find your nurses help you with emotional support as well.

Inspirational speaker and patient advocate Lois Fink shares her personal story of the care and support she received from nurses after her ostomy surgery.
