SGI Health Connection is designed to offer patients, survivors, caregivers and advocates a secure environment where they can interact.

The platform offers support groups for inflammatory bowel disease, hepatitis, Barrett’s esophagus, GI cancers, irritable bowel syndrome, clinical trials, insurance and more.

“People with GI conditions and their caregivers need ongoing access to support — not just during a brief office visit with their physician, but when they go home and do research. They need help during sleepless nights as well as busy days,” explains Charles Weaver, MD, a medical oncologist and CEO of OMNI. “We are pleased that leading care providers like Suburban Gastroenterology continue to select the OMNI Connect application for patient and caregiver use on their website.”
