Help Amplify ReproHH!

1-844-ReproHH (1-844-737-7644)


Dear Fellow CHCF Alumni - I’m excited to share an important new resource that aligns with our shared commitment to advancing equitable, evidence-based care: the Reproductive Health Hotline (ReproHH) is now live!


ReproHH is a FREE, confidential phone service offering evidence-based clinical information for healthcare providers across the nation who have questions related to sexual and reproductive health.


We need your help to get the word out!  Can you share the info with clinics in your health system? If you want more materials (slides, palm cards, stickers, refrigerator magnets) please email Panna (panna.lossy@ucsf.edu)


ReproHH is staffed by University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) physicians with specialized expertise in these clinical areas and is available on-demand from 8 am to 4 pm PT (11 am – 7 pm ET), Monday to Friday, excluding holidays.


Before calling, please visit reprohh.ucsf.edu to review the terms of service and learn more.

You're Invited to Listen In: Mapping Healthcare


I invite you to tune in to Mapping Healthcare, a biweekly radio show and podcast I host that highlights efforts to improve healthcare systems across the U.S. and around the world.


Past episodes of Mapping Healthcare have covered a range of topics such as patient safety, patient-centered care, informatics, and technology in healthcare. I hope you'll listen in!


🎙️ Listen and stream episodes!


Thank you for being part of a community committed to reimagining healthcare. — Ulfat

About Ulfat Shaikh: Dr. Shaikh has been involved with media initiatives at Davis Media Access, a non-profit community media center in her hometown of Davis, California, for over a decade, advising a youth digital media club and then mentoring a youth-led community radio show.


She served on the board of Davis Media Access to help advise its youth programs and after her board term came to a close, starting her own radio show there seemed like a great way of staying involved in media initiatives.
