Polio Hall of Fame, Memorial sculpture at Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute, Georgia, United States.
The Polio Hall of Fame displays seventeen bronze busts mounted on a white marble wall, honoring scientists and leaders in polio research and treatment.
The Georgia Warm Springs Foundation commissioned this memorial in 1958 to mark twenty years of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis.
Each bronze bust represents individuals who advanced medical knowledge about polio, including Jakob Heine, Jonas Salk, and Albert Sabin.
Visitors can learn about the development of polio vaccines and treatments through informational displays accompanying each sculptured figure.
The collection includes both European and American medical pioneers, with Franklin D. Roosevelt and Basil O'Connor as the only non-scientists featured.
