MedicAlert – Making brain injury more visible
Brain Injury Canada has partnered with MedicAlert to bring support and visibility to individuals living with acquired brain injury (ABI).
Brain Injury Canada is proud to partner with MedicAlert, the largest membership-based charity in Canada and the leading provider of emergency medical information services. The partnership will support Brain Injury Canada’s mission to enhance the quality of life of individuals and families/caregivers living with brain injury.
Due to the invisible nature of brain injury, symptoms such as slowness to act, lack of impulse control, failure to respond to directions or communication challenges are often behavior that is misinterpreted as defiance. With MedicAlert protection, there’s an effective way to more easily identify brain injury survivors and ensure that they receive an appropriate response and support and raise awareness about brain injury throughout the police services, emergency response and criminal justice system.
If you or your loved one is in an emergency situation, it may not be possible to communicate effectively with emergency responders. The MedicAlert and Brain Injury Canada partnership is designed to empower emergency responders and police to provide you or your loved one with timely and customized care. Here’s how:
- Our medically-trained professionals review your medical record. We help ensure emergency responders and healthcare professionals have the right information to care for you
- Engraved using globally-accepted terminology. Standardized medical terminology on your ID is preferred by emergency responders and health professionals
- Comprehensive medical profile on file. A medical ID alone can’t convey your full medical history. Only MedicAlert enables emergency responders to access your detailed medical profile
- 24/7 Emergency Hotline with live agents. A live agent, not an automated service, answers your call within an average of 5 seconds
- Family notification service. Only MedicAlert notifies your loved ones of your situation and location in an emergency
- The most trusted protection. MedicAlert is the most trusted medical ID service among emergency responders
For only $60, brain injury survivors will receive*:
- One year of MedicAlert service,
- FREE MedicAlert ID
