Ask an OB-GYN: Women’s Health Q&A for Somali Women

Dr. Fatima SharifMohamed, M.D., an OB-GYN and hospitalist, will answer the questions that have gone unasked due to language barriers, fear, or a lack of culturally safe providers.

📅 Thursday, August 21, 2025
🕒 3:30 PM – 5:00 PM (Central Time)
💻 Virtual Event via Zoom (https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/D3Z6rOL1T-SxtwY8U7A7zw)

This is a rare opportunity to access a trusted Somali OB-GYN in a culturally respectful space. Bring your questions about:

Infertility

Cyst pain

Hormonal changes
