WHO WE ARE

The Rocky Mountain Chapter (RMC) is an affiliate of the national Wound Ostomy and Continence Nurses Society (WOCN). The RMC serves members from Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming and Utah. Membership is processed through the WOCN and applicants are assigned to a region based on geographical location.

The RMC holds two regional conference meetings per year. One meeting occurs during the national WOCN conference, in the late spring/summer and the second is held during the fall. The site of the fall conference rotates between all five member states. Regional conferences and meetings provide members with opportunities to network with colleagues, gain updated information on the latest products and practices, and participate in continuing education offerings. The RMC provides such opportunities to enhance the field of Wound Ostomy and Continence Nursing through professional organization and affiliation
