UPDATED 4-24-21Introduction: PHI, then Gazette International Networking Institute, published its
first Post-Polio Directory in 1985 to assist survivors of polio who were experiencing
the late effects of polio to find health professionals. At the 1983 Conference, the
organization was charged with encouraging the formation of local support groups
and the current Post-Polio Directory includes those groups, too.
How it is organized: There are three sections.
1) International Health Professionals and Support Organizations,
which are organized alphabetically by country with health professionals
listed first in alphabetical order by city, followed by support groups listed by
alphabetical order by city.
2) United States Health Professionals and Support Organizations,
which are organized alphabetically by state with health professionals listed
first in alphabetical order by city, followed by support groups listed in
alphabetical order by city.
3) International and US Other Useful Contacts listed by topical areas.
How to use it: Post-Polio Health International’s comprehensive websites
(www.post-polio.org, www.polioplace.org, www.ventusers.org) contain years
of information about the late effects of polio and are continually updated. The
Post-Polio Directory is a good place to start to find local resources. Support groups
also may be able to suggest names of local health professionals.
Another option is to contact a physiatrist – physician specializing in physical
medicine and rehabilitation, or a rehabilitation center. A few rehabilitation centers
stated that while they don’t have a post-polio clinic, they are confident that their
staff of rehabilitation professionals has sufficient knowledge and experience with
treating neuromuscular diseases (or disabling neuromusculoskeletal conditions)
to be able to successfully treat polio survivors.
