OUR MISSION

is to further promote public and community awareness of Post Polio Syndrome also to promote interest in PPS and in educating the public and community. We strive to make a difference through education both to the patients and to the community we serve.

Everyday support
for the disabled

Our purpose as support group is provide an opportunity for education, friendship, and an exchange of information on life-style adaptation, assistive equipment, medical treatment and provide a welcoming place to bond with fellow polio survivors. 

Integration instead
of exclusion

We are a group of life-loving polio survivors who come together to share information such as medical, equipment, braces and any new techniques that could help us and our families to achieve a more positive attitude through informed suggestions .
