This EMS Emergency Medical Information Form goes beyond the standard "Vial Of Life" type form you may get for free at a senior show.

Our printable emergency medical information form sheet has been developed with first responders to make sure we only capture the most critical information needed to assist in an emergency. When you are ready to print and complete the form, you'll want to have the following information handy:

• -Name, address and phone numbers (include home, work and cell)
• -Who to contact in an emergency (Name, phone numbers, relationship). Note if that person also has power of attorney.
• -List any specific medical devices used, with brand and model numbers if possible (i.e. hearing aids, artificial limbs or prosthetic devices, pacemaker, defibrillator, walker, glasses and so on).
• -Medical history and any current conditions.
• -Hospital preferences, if any. (Please note that EMS may not be able to honor your wishes to take you to a specific hospital - they are not a taxi service. Their job is to get you to emergency help as fast as possible and that usually means the closest hospital location available. If you have specific needs, you can contract directly with private ambulance services or medical transportation services in your area. Just let us know to update your Personal Profile to reflect these preferences by calling Medical Care Alert customer service at 1-877-913-3680).
