Post-Polio Health International Videos – St Louis, 2014
In 2014, following its 11th International Conference "Promoting Healthy Ideas", Post-Polio Health International produced a video series entitled "Post-Polio Experts Present". These informational videos are presented by dedicated experts who have significant experience in managing post-polio problems and in advocating for the survivors of polio. The presenters provide information and advice to the health professionals who treat polio survivors and also to survivors and their families. The series was underwritten by a grant from the Roosevelt Warm Springs Foundation.
