Our first meeting


The first meeting was held on 27th December 2008 at Somali Community Association of Ohio's (SCAO) Conference room. Hodon,our representative of the Young Somali Professionals of North America(YSPNA) Ohio chapter welcomed the new group - the Somali Nurses Association of North America.(SNANA) She provided information on YSPNA and their vision. A few members of YSPNA attended, I was one of them. And then Farhia got to introduce her vision for the Nurses organisation. There was approximately 20 nurses & nursing students who attended and actively discussed the activities, goals they would like to attain and selected a representative for each of their individual schools- Mount Carmen, Ohio State Univ, Otterbein College, Wright state & Columbus SCC as well as for the LPN group.
The meeting was also attended by president of SCAO Hassan Omar who emphasised the need of health care professionals to educate the Somali community because most of the Somali community members still face language and social barriers. He also mentioned his observations as a community leader and the health care issues faced among his constituents. Dr. Omar Awale our local Somali Family Medicine physician who is also a YSPNA member acknowledged the need of more education and outreach programs to help Somali patients to understand the importance of health care and nutrition and implement it in their lifestyle. He also shared his views and problems he faces on a daily basis when he treats his Somali patients.
After refreshments were served the meeting was later adjourned for a later date on agreement that members establish a facebook account so that planning to hold an educational session for nurses can continue.

  1. Unfortunately there are a lot of AIDS/Herpes denials on Herbal cures still out there. I did research on them after I was tested HIV/Herpes positive I was so worried am I going to die soon. I continue my search again on herbal remedy for Std, then I found lots of testimony on how Dr Itua Herbal Medicine Cured HIV/Aids, Herpes Virus,Copd, Hepatitis, Diabetes, On websites sharing their testimonies, which made much more sense to me. All the authors pronounce Dr Itua As a man with Good Heart, I pick interest in their testimonies and I contact him about my situation then he gave me procedure how it works, I proceed after one week he courier his Herbal Medicine to me and instruct me on how to drink it for two weeks to cure. I receive His Herbal Medicine so I drank it for two weeks as I was told then after 2 days I go for a test I found out I was cured from HIV/Aids & Herpes Virus, I pay homage to him 2 months ago to his country to celebrate with him on his African festival which he told me it usually happens every year. I know there are lots of (HIV)/Aids&Herpes Virus denials of Herbal Remedy movement the same few doctors and they represent a very small faction of the community. I could have died because I refused Natural Herbs Cures for so long, but luckily, by the grace of God I am alive to tell my story.
