Medic Alert Awareness Month

Day to day, you manage your health or the health of a loved one with medications, lifestyle interventions, the help of medical professionals, and more. In an emergency, you may be unable to communicate the details of your medical conditions, medications you take, or any severe allergies you have. Medical alert bracelets/necklaces speak on your behalf and share vital information that may be able to save your life. First response personnel will look for medical identification on your body before moving forward with treatment.

Talk to your doctor and medical providers - a medical alert ID may be useful for any person with:

• a medical condition that requires special attention (bleeding disorders, heart conditions, severe asthma)
• a medical condition that may render you unable to speak (epilepsy, diabetes, dementia).
• a severe allergy to food or medications.
• a medical implant device.
