In a medical emergency, if you are unable to speak or clearly express yourself, MedicAlert® will speak for you.


MedicAlert® 24-Hour Emergency Response Center:

Building on 46 years of experience in protecting and saving lives, MedicAlert Foundation International provides instant access to identification and vital medical information. With more than 4 million members around the world, MedicAlert is recognized as the world's preeminent source of personal medical information during emergencies, and is trusted and recommended by more than 100,000 medical professionals. 

How the MedicAlert® System Works

  • MedicAlert® emblems alert emergency responders to a member's primary medical conditions and prompt their call to the Emergency Response Center.
  • Upon contact, MedicAlert® transmits contents of the member's computerized medical file, which includes specific medical conditions, medications, allergies, implanted devices, emergency contacts, insurance information and more.
  • Then, MedicAlert® calls the member's emergency contacts, so members don't have to be alone in crisis situations.
