Celebrating MedicAlert Awareness Month

August 2024

MedicAlert Foundation celebrates MedicAlert Awareness Month and 68 years of service

Since 1956, MedicAlert IDs have protected and saved millions of lives.

Did you know that MedicAlert literally invented the medical ID? Our founder, Dr. Marion Collins, created the first ever medical identification bracelet for his daughter. Help spread the word and educate more people about the importance of medical identification with this MedicAlert Awareness Toolkit.

Together, we can save even more lives!

In this MedicAlert Awareness Toolkit, you'll find resources to help spread the word about the importance of medical identification for people living with chronic medical conditions.
