CDC Director commends Rotary’s work to end polio


 
 

Dr. Julie Gerberding has dealt with critical health issues her whole career. She now serves as director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one of the spearheading partners of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative. In 2004, at 49, Gerberding was named by Forbes as one of the 100 most powerful women in the world.

She recently sat down with RI Communications Division Manager Vince Aversano in her Atlanta office for an interview, where she thanked Rotarians for their tireless work to eradicate polio.
