Sherrie Palm is a Wisconsin native who happened upon her life path in her 50's. After Sherrie was diagnosed with the very common female health condition pelvic organ prolapse, and discovered upon research that despite being on record since Egyptian times that it was still pretty much "in the closet", it became her life mission to educate women about all aspects of POP and to create awareness not only in the US, but throughout all developed and third world countries. Sherrie's book Pelvic Organ Prolapse: The Silent Epidemic explores the condition as well as the symptoms it displays, the causes, the treatment options, how it impacts a woman's sexuality and more. The educational seminars she hosts are meant to create an open dialogue among women to help bring this topic out of the closet.

When not spreading the word about this health concern, Sherrie can be found coaching the kids on her local Special Olympics group basketball team, training her puppies, or taking digital photos of nature in northern Wisconsin.

How to get started

There are more than 300,000 surgeries for POP annually and it has been estimated that half of all childbearing women will experience this condition later in life. POP has been on the record since Egyptian times and yet most women are either unfamiliar with the condition or have gross misconceptions about it. Although this health condition is not life threatening, it is disabling, both emotionally and physically. It impacts nearly every aspect of a woman's life, physical, emotional, financial, social, and sexual. Once we spread the word and create awareness, the fear, stigma, and anxiety will go away.

Other highlights
