No Child Without® Program

Children are the most vulnerable persons in our society, especially during a medical emergency or crisis. Safe guarding your children's health is our priority. That is why the Canadian MedicAlert Foundation is partnering with the Lions Clubs of Canada and schools across the country to introduce the No Child Without program at no cost to families.

StudentsFIRST Program

With the rise in childhood asthma, diabetes and allergies, it is estimated that one in five children has a medical condition, allergy or special need that should be communicated in an emergency. The StudentsFIRST program has been created to provide kids ages 4-18 with the 24-hour protection of the MedicAlert® emergency medical information service.
