    Speaker(s)

    Kevin Birusingh, MD
    Urologist, The Iowa Clinic

    Dr. Birusingh says he found himself practicing urology for a number of reasons, “There is a wide breadth of surgical skills required, and it affords him the opportunity to have lifelong relationships with patients, which can be rare for a surgical sub-specialty.” When it came to establishing a practice, he felt The Iowa Clinic was a good fit for him and it brought him and his wife back to her hometown. Having played professional soccer for a few years after college, Dr. Birusingh stays active. He enjoys running, reading and spending time with his wife and two daughters. Full biography.

    Erin Sullivan Wagner
    Co-Chair, Iowa Cancer Consortium Quality of Life Subcommittee; Owner, After Cancer, Solutions for Sexual Health

    Surviving cancer taught me a great deal. I created a new life, a life dedicated to helping others suffering physical, psychological, and emotional scars due to sexual dysfunction.

    Though challenging and painful, I now realize cancer was also a gift. I am stronger since cancer, able to connect with others on a deeper level, and to recognize emotional intimacy as a key ingredient to happiness and successful relationships. As a cancer survivor, I am committed to spending the remainder of my life helping others redefine intimacy for themselves and in their relationships. Full biography.
