Who Are We?
The Rotarian Action Group for Polio Survivors and Associates is the living legacy of the Rotary Polio-Plus polio eradication program through humanitarian assistance to polio survivors of the world. This Action Group operates in accordance with Rotary International policy, but is not controlled by Rotary.

PSA-PHI Joint Effort
Ann Lee Hussey, Chairman of the Rotary Action Group - Polio Survivors and Associates (PSA), and Joan L. Headley, Executive Director of Post-Polio Health International (PHI), have announced a joint effort to promote greater public awareness of polio in present times. The program will include the ongoing Rotary fund drive to raise funds for the polio eradication program, the urgent need for assistance and rehabilitation for recent survivors of polio, and an awareness of post-polio syndrome occurring in the lives of many polio survivors long after recovery from the initial attack of polio. Because of the success of the eradication effort, the total number of survivors worldwide has dropped considerably. The exact number is unknown, but polio survivors throughout the world are in need of programs that will provide rehabilitation and re-rehabilitation, which is the key to participating in society.
