President Franklin D. Roosevelt's frequent visits to Warm Springs, a small town in Georgia, inspired him to

establish the Warm Springs Foundation, later known as the March of Dimes Foundation, to help combat polio and provide support for those affected by the disease. His visits to Warm Springs also played a significant role in shaping his perspective on disability and his commitment to helping those who were less fortunate. The time he spent at Warm Springs allowed him to see firsthand the struggles and challenges faced by individuals with disabilities, leading him to advocate for policies and programs to improve their quality of life.
