Safe & Found

MedicAlert’s Safe & Found Program is Canada’s only safety net for the 60% of individuals with Alzheimer’s or other dementias who experience disorientation and wandering. When First Responders or Good Samaritans connect with MedicAlert, 91% of these individuals are safely returned home without harm, compared to less than 50% without. Your gift provides vital support and peace of mind to these individuals and their families.

IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity in Action) Program

MedicAlert is more than just a medical ID—it’s a lifeline that helps prevent dangerous mistakes, saves lives, and improves healthcare outcomes for Canadians. This lifeline is even more important for the hundreds of thousands of people across Canada who face a range of barriers—from gender and race to homelessness and food insecurity—when it comes to accessing health care services.

Connect Protect

Our Connect Protect Program is a unique support service for Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) better known as 9-1-1 dispatch centres. It allows 9-1-1 dispatchers to access a subscriber's record directly, freeing frontline officers and other first responders to take action more quickly. Nearly 40 percent of MedicAlert's 24/7 Hotline calls are for people who wander and go missing or need de-escalation support. This makes the Connect Protect Program ideal for safeguarding loved ones with Alzheimer’s or autism, and for those living with a medical condition that could require immediate and focused attention in an emergency. Like no other service, it can quickly reunite loved ones, or get someone the precise medical attention they need.
