"The Phoenix Magazine is a wonderful publication. It is a great resource for people living with ostomies, and provides helpful information regarding resources, supplies, and clinical data, as well as real-life interviews with care providers and patients/clients. Best of all is the upbeat, positive tone of each issue, making it clear that people with ostomies can remain active and socially engaged, with happy and healthy lives. It is an excellent resource."
