Top reasons to wear ID
When you can't speak for yourself, ID will speak for you.
ID enables First Responders to immediately contact family members and friends.
ID enables family members to provide additional details about your health or give consent for potentially life saving procedures.
ID enables hospital staff to locate vital medical records. ID can communicate medical conditions or allergy information to
medical staff. ID can prevent serious delays in treatment by saving crucial time
during the "golden hour" of medical treatment.
ID can save your Life. Period!
