While many of you have already heard, Dr Sherief Shawki will be leaving Mayo Clinic in February. He has let us know that he will be with a health system in Baltimore, Maryland and plans to start sometime in April. We have asked that once he is settled, to share information on how patients can schedule appointments with him. We continue to express our gratitude for all of Dr Shawki’s support for QLA and look forward to a continued relationship with him.

🎄 Merry Christmas from Quality Life Association (QLA) 🎄

The holidays are meant for warmth, connection, and moments that feel good. For those living with a continent ostomy, that may mean slowing down, choosing familiar foods, staying hydrated, and listening closely to your body.
There’s no right or wrong way to celebrate: only the way that brings you comfort and peace. Whether you’re enjoying a full plate, a small portion, or simply the company around you, you are honoring your quality of life. 💜

From our QLA family to yours, we wish you a joyful, gentle, and meaningful Christmas.
🎄✨
