The first Saturday in October is traditionally Ostomy Awareness Day, a worldwide celebration of #OstomateVoices and a chance to raise awareness of life with a stoma.
Both Ostomy brands – Hollister & Dansac’s key message was our dedication to stoma care and the importance of keeping sight of the whole person and what matters most to them, their loved ones, and the clinicians who care for them.
Feeling Comfortable in Your Own Skin
At Dansac, we want to empower people to overcome the physical, social, and psychological challenges of living with a stoma. Together, we can help remove the stigma of having a stoma and give someone a new chance at life. Every person has a story, and every story matters. Visitors to the page are invited to share their story on social media using the hashtags #OAD2023 and #OstomateVoices.

Share Your Ostomy Journey to Help Raise Awareness
For many people, ostomy surgery gives them a new chance at life. Their ostomy empowers them to manage challenging symptoms, provides stability to daily routines, and allows them to do things they could not do prior to illness.
Ostomy Awareness Day gives us an opportunity to come together to raise awareness and share the incredible journey of patients after their surgery. If you would like to share your unique journey and help raise awareness, we would love to hear from you.
