Stephanie Crawford
Colorectal Cancer & Ostomy Survivor · Author · Speaker · Advocate
Beyond the Bag is a program of New Beginnings Living with an Ostomy
Stephanie Crawford is a colorectal cancer and ostomy survivor who turned her diagnosis into a mission. As the founder of Beyond the Bag, she has become a trusted voice for the ostomy community — speaking at healthcare events, community organizations, churches, and conferences across the NJ/PA Triad and beyond.
Her message is simple and powerful: a diagnosis is not a destination. Stephanie shares her personal journey with raw honesty, compassion, and faith — leaving audiences informed, inspired, and equipped to support those living with ostomies.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
— Jeremiah 29:11
