Med Alert Sleeve Program

Overview of the Program

ABSR is facilitating a program designed to provide Medic Alert Sleeves and corresponding forms for use within your home. This initiative aims to support individuals and families by offering important tools that can assist during emergencies.

Purpose of the Sleeves and Forms

The Medic Alert Sleeves and forms are intended to relay crucial information to first responders when they are called to your home. By having this information readily available, you can help ensure that emergency personnel are informed and able to provide the best possible care as quickly as possible.

Sleeve Design and Placement Options

Each sleeve measures 4x4 inches and is equipped with a magnet, making it easy to place on your refrigerator for quick access. If your refrigerator is not compatible with magnets, adhesive strips are available upon request to ensure the sleeve can still be displayed in a prominent and accessible location.

Availability

Print off forms from a Word Document or as a PDF:
Med Alert form in Word

Sleeves and paper forms will be made available to those interested in participating in the program starting April 1.
