iWOC Nursing Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit service organization staffed by Board-certified wound and ostomy nurses who have volunteered their specialized services to help you access quality, evidence-based care. It evolved out of a desire to positively impact the disparity between the often-complex needs of patients with wounds and ostomies and the level of care they receive in the post-acute setting. Our goal is to use education and empowerment as bridge to quality care.
