FDR's Polio Treatment | Warm Springs

Warm Springs, Georgia became President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's home-away-from-home when he learned about its naturally heated pools as a means to treat his polio. He opened up the pools as a hospital to other polio patients. Since the polio vaccine was developed in 1955, the hospital in Warm Springs is now being used to treat people with other disabilities.
