As I understand it, it used to be in person at the main PHX campus until COVID made it go virtual. Since we are basically past COVID it would be nice to have it go back to in person at the main campus. I think they could do both, as nothing should prevent them having an local in person at all of 3 of their US base campuses (Phoenix, Minneapolis, Jacksonville) and a Zoom for people who do not live near a campus or just prefer Zoom.

I don't think it has to be either, and it just comes down to money and what Mayo budgets for the free service and how the attendance for each. If no one shows up or if it's only one or two people they may not want to continue it or make it go Zoom to try to increase the attendance.

There are several Ostomy Support groups in Florida more than we have in Arizona. You can find them with the support group finder on Ostomy[.]org. You didn't say where so if you are not in a major city it could be difficult. I know there are several in Miami, Jacksonville, along the coast near outside of Tampa.
