Health Initiatives

We are proud to be part of a global effort to eradicate polio, and we have made significant contributions to this initiative. In addition to our international work, we are actively involved in improving the health of our local community, and our members often support Health Initiative fundraisers hosted by fellow Rotarian Clubs in our region. We have posted a few memories here...

 

Eradicating Polio

 

Along with our partners, we have helped immunize more than 2.5 billion children against polio in 122 countries. We have reduced polio cases by 99.9 percent worldwide and we won't stop until we end the disease for good.
