Environmental Impact
We minimize unnecessary medical waste and its environmental impact by collecting new supplies from individuals with excess, healthcare facilities with overflow, and companies with surplus inventory.
We help people in the United States who cannot afford ostomy supplies.

Are ostomy supplies unaffordable to you because your insurance doesn’t cover them?
Are financial challenges making it difficult for you to cover the out-of-pocket costs of your ostomy supplies?
