Ben's MedicAlert ID: trusted protection
Over the years, that trusted emblem always protected Ben. Then in 2021, the power of MedicAlert hit home in a very immediate way. Ben wasn’t feeling well—he felt waves of nausea came over him, and his friend feared he might faint. Instinctively, his friend dialed 911. When first responders arrived, they immediately turned to Ben’s MedicAlert ID, using it to get vital information on his health.
“It was a first-hand experience of how important MedicAlert is—whether it turns out to be something minor or a full-blown emergency,” Ben says. “You’re the only organization that keeps protecting people even after they buy a medical ID. It’s MedicAlert’s 24/7 services that make the difference.”
A courageous life
As an above the knee amputee, Ben has faced more than his share of medical hurdles. Yet he greets each new challenge with determination and that ever-present optimism. After a recent surgery to ease nerve pain in his leg, he’s once again relearning to walk—taking each step with the same grit and positive outlook that’s defined his life.
