Post-Polio Health International (PHI)

PHI Board President Daniel Wilson urges everyone eligible to get their Covid-19 vaccinations.

Judy Heumann: "My hope was that 'Crip Camp' would win an Academy Award. But even though we didn't win, we didn't lose. "This film is making more people with disabilities feel empowered and nondisabled people recognize that they not only need to learn more about us, but they also must become part of our fight for equality."

"The coronavirus pandemic, twice as deadly for Black Americans than whites, has highlighted racial disparities with roots in the past. The history of polio shows that racial and health disparities are not new, and that often they have been deliberately ignored."

PHI's office will be closed for the holidays December 23-28. During this time we may be able to answer urgent emails, but our office phone will not be answered. We hope you are all having a safe and happy holiday season. We look forward to returning and continuing to serve your needs next week! Take care!
