APOPS History and Leadership
Like most women, Sherrie Palm was a member of the "discovery upon diagnosis" demographic. She recognized within two weeks of her diagnosis that pelvic organ prolapse was the biggest secret in women's health, and that millions of other women were suffering in silence. Sherrie's journey began when she wrote the book Pelvic Organ Prolapse:The Silent Epidemic, and shortly after the publication of the 1st Edition, founded APOPS, a grassroots movement to increase POP awareness and provide guidance and support to women navigating the condition.
Board of Directors
APOPS' Board of Directors work diligently to evolve APOPS global vision, bridging patients, healthcare, industry, research, academia and policy for the betterment of POP understanding, patient voice acknowledgement, vaginal health destimatization, and vaginal health empowerment. APOPS BOD is 100% comprised of women who have experienced pelvic organ prolapse.
Whether written or articulated word, advocate or activist engagement, Sherrie Palm mobilizes patient, healthcare, academic, research, industry, and policy sectors, providing a conduit to engender vaginal and intimate health evolution.
Sher is the Founder/CEO of Association for Pelvic Organ Prolapse Support (APOPS), a pelvic organ prolapse (POP) patient advocate and key opinion leader, a vaginal and intimate health activist, author of award winning book Pelvic Organ Prolapse: The Silent Epidemic, and an international speaker regarding pelvic organ prolapse quality of life impact and women’s health empowerment.
