#OstomyAwareness Bringing People Together

Hollister is proud to support World Ostomy Day! Every three years ostomy organisations around the world celebrate World Ostomy Day (WOD). See how others are participating.

WOD is a time for connection, inspiration, and reflection for the ostomy community. Whether virtually or in person, we hope you join in on October 5, 2024

Celebrate the Day in Your Way

For many people, ostomy surgery gives them a new chance at life. Their ostomy helps them manage challenging symptoms, provides stability to daily routines, and allows them to do things they could not do prior to illness. These positive outcomes are why we celebrate! Every person’s journey, experiences, and interests are unique. Here are some ways you can learn something new, show your support, or connect with others in the global ostomy community.

Beyond the Bag

We asked ostomates to think beyond their products and tell us about their favorite freeing moments and activities. Hear more about their passions and share yours too!

We're All About Education

We believe knowledge is power – knowing more about living with an ostomy, or the products and resources available to you.

Healthy Skin

Healthy skin around your stoma not only helps your pouching system adhere properly, but also may improve your quality of life. Taking special care to improve and preserve skin health may help you feel comfortable with your ostomy.
 

Protection Where it Matters

Living with an ostomy doesn’t mean you have to live with stoma fluid leakage or skin irritation. See how the CeraPlus™ Line of Ostomy Products* gives your skin the advanced protection it deserves. 

Peace of Mind

You may have questions about your ostomy and how to keep on living the life you want to live, but you don’t have to figure it out on your own. Secure StartSM services offer free personalised ostomy care support regardless of the brand of products you use.
