Va Directive Provides Free Medical Ids To Vets In Need

PRLog (Press Release) – May 19, 2011 – HOUSTON, TX  (May  19, 2011) – VA Directive states: “It is VHA policy that ID bracelets and pendants must be available, upon appropriate request by the Department of Veterans Affairs clinicians through Prosthetics Service, for veteran patients whose pertinent medical information would be valuable to emergency medical care providers.”
Medical IDs save lives by communicating medical information to emergency responders. Medical IDs are indicated for those with diabetes, food or drugs allergies, seizure disorder, heart conditions, blood thinner prescriptions, multiple medications, metal fragments in the body and many other medical conditions. It is important in an emergency that this information is available. Knowing this information allows emergency medical responders to quickly provide the right life-saving treatment.
American Medical ID is currently working with VA organizations across the nation as a registered supplier of customized medical IDs. We are working to help VA organizations with process and ordering procedures.
“The VHA is the single largest health care system in the world. It is wonderful that they are recognizing medical IDs as an important part of living with chronic medical conditions. We are working to ensure that all veterans whose conditions merit a medical ID, will receive one at no cost to them,” said Rick Russell, CEO and president of American Medical ID.
The full VA directive can be found at: http://www.americanmedical- Since 1994, Houston-based, employee owned and operated, American Medical ID has created high quality, customized medical identification jewelry to meet one’s everyday lifestyle. The medical IDs are available with various styles of bracelets, necklaces, and sports bands, in gold, gold-filled, sterling silver, stainless steel, titanium and nylon.

Medical Alert Pendant/Bracelet with Contract-Free Monitoring

Welcome to an exciting new independent living facility: your own home. Given the choice, most seniors and persons with medical conditions or physical challenges would prefer to live in their own homes and be as independent as they can. That's not always possible, but for many, this dream can become a reality with the addition of one easy-to-use communications device. The PERS-2400 (which stands for Personal Emergency Reporting System) connects to your home telephone line and automatically places a call for help whenever you need assistance, any time of the day or night. Family, neighbors, and medical personnel whom you predesignate are notified immediately, so they can respond. This system has proven dependable enough to meet some very tough standards. It is listed by Underwriters Laboratories as a home healthcare signaling device and a smoke alarm accessory. The means to activate the system couldn't be simpler or more reliable. You keep a wireless transmitter with you at all times. In the event of an at-home emergency you press the alarm button, which functions like a TV remote control, to signal the console to automatically call the PERSYS Emergency Monitoring Center, staffed by trained professionals 24 hours a day. When one of these operators receive your call, he or she notifies the key people whom you preselected to respond in specific situations: family members, neighbors, friends, or appropriate rescue personnel. During a power outage, continuous protection is ensured by a long-life back-up battery. The console is equipped for two-way voice communications. In an emergency situation, the console contacts the Emergency Monitoring Center. With two-way voice capability, the console will also work as a speaker phone, allowing you and the Emergency Monitoring Center operator to talk directly with each other until help arrives.
