At least one in five Canadians have a medical condition that must be known in an
emergency to ensure proper treatment. As a registered charity, our mission is pure
and simple – we want to provide all Canadians with medical protection in an emergency
situation.
Having a medical condition may put you at risk in an emergency.
MedicAlert ensures your vital medical information is immediately known to emergency
health care providers and will speak for you when you cannot. How MedicAlert works:
- Emergency staff are trained to look for the most critical information engraved on
the MedicAlert identification
- If required, emergency staff will call the 24 hour hotline for the full emergency
medical record (even if outside of Canada)
- As an Advantage member, the MedicAlert hotline will call your emergency contacts
to let them know about the situation
