Medic Alert Bracelet

Wearing a MedicAlert bracelet could save your life. It did for one California man with dementia. When a police office approached the 83-year-old man wandering alongside a highway the officer noticed the man couldn't speak English, but thanks to the man's MedicAlert bracelet, the officer called the MedicAlert emergency response number, identified the man and reunited him safely with his family.

MedicAlert bracelets are a lifesaver for many stricken people who are admitted to hospital when unconscious or unable to communicate. MedicAlert pendants identify you to health professionals & giving them basic medical information engraved on the backside. A MedicAlert bracelet can help prevent a doctor from administering drugs that could cause an allergic reaction or death.

MedicAlert bracelets also display the phone number of your MedicAlert service provider. When emergency workers call the number they gain access to your MedicAlert file. Your MedicAlert file will include the types and dosages of medications you take, any drug allergies, a medical history, and any implanted devices like pacemakers, as well as any emergency family contacts to call.

MedicAlert bracelets also note whether a patient (with a terminal illness for example) has signed a do-not-resuscitate order.

Yearly enrollment with the MedicAlert Advantage Service costs $35 for the first year and $20 for each additional year of membership. Your yearly medic alert subscription will include one MedicAlert stainless steel bracelet or pendant engraved with your primary medical condition, identification number and the medical alert company's 24-hour emergency response telephone number.
