Because we’re their trusted source of information in times of need, we are the only emergency medical information service endorsed by First Responders across Canada. We are the information bridge between First Responders and those living with a chronic health condition, when seconds matter most.

But Medic Alert isn’t just for emergencies. From planned medical appointments to safe inclusion in activities, MedicAlert is a critical tool for the well-being of anyone living with a chronic health condition.

Beyond emergency response, MedicAlert - a registered Canadian charity - supports research and education, working to empower individuals living with chronic health conditions to lead their fullest, healthiest lives. MedicAlert also offers specialized programs that focus on children, and on seniors living with dementia.
