September 2025 Newsletter

Inside this issue:

Polio Eradication: No one wants this more than a polio survivor. We know first hand just what this terrible disease can do. Many survivors hear about the Rotary Foundation being involved in these efforts, but what do they do? How are they doing it? What IS the GPEI? We CAN make a difference.

Shoulder Pain - How do I manage it? This is another topic that frequently comes our way. Articles abound on the newer treatments for shoulder pain, creating significant confusion especially for those with complex shoulder problems and disabilities that require upper extremity use for mobility, using crutches or a wheelchair. Rehabilitative physician William M. DeMayo has brought us an article and two videos that can help.

Vaccines – What are the facts? The word continues to appear in your questions to us. With the help of the GPEI, we are bringing you another credible source of information that helps explain the polio vaccine(s).
