The topic is about a monthly ostomy support group that meets at the Sonora Regional Medical Center. This group is a wonderful opportunity for individuals with ostomies to connect, share experiences, and learn from each other. Here are some details and helpful insights about the group:

- The support group meets on the second Saturday of every month.
- Meetings start at 11:00 AM.
- They are held in the conference room across from the café at the medical center.
- The main goal of the group is to provide a welcoming space to meet others, make friends, and possibly more.
- Each meeting features guest speakers who share their knowledge and experiences.

Here are some pieces of advice and insights for making the most out of these meetings:

1. Consider inviting medical professionals as guest speakers. Groups in Pennsylvania have found that having physicians, nurses, or WOC (Wound, Ostomy, Continence) specialists can provide valuable and practical information.
2. Some support groups, like those in Fort Worth, have benefited from inviting representatives from local TSA offices. This interaction can be beneficial for both ostomates and security staff, fostering understanding and cooperation.
3. Attending any ostomy support group is highly recommended for networking, gaining education, and receiving mutual encouragement.
