Understanding Your Condition
Getting diagnosed with a medical condition that affects your bladder or bowel can feel overwhelming. You’re faced with new daily routines like learning how to cath or care for your ostomy. And you may have a lot of questions, especially if this is all new to you.
We understand. 180 Medical began because of our founder Todd Brown’s experience after he sustained a spinal cord injury in 1994. He knows firsthand what it’s like to navigate a new diagnosis and try to find dependable support from a medical supplier. His experience shaped our company’s mission and continues to guide how we serve people today.
Whether you’re newly diagnosed or just hoping to better understand your condition, here are some of our helpful resources and articles. And if you’d like to see inspiring stories from others living and thriving with conditions like yours, check out our 180 Medical Community.
