About this Course

Join monthly seminars on healthy aging. The topic of each month will be posted in advance. This is a volunteer-led program. Registration is required. October 15 Topic: As we get older, we may need emergency medical help at some point in our lives. But what happens if you cannot speak after an accident, a fall, or a sudden illness? First Responders such as paramedics, police, or firefighters need to know important things about you. They must know your name, if you have allergies, or if you are taking medicine. But in an emergency, you may not be able to tell them, and you might not be with someone who knows your health information. In this session, you will learn a simple way to share your health information in an emergency. You will learn step by step how to prepare something that “speaks” for you when you cannot. You will be ready to make sure first responders have the information they need to help you quickly and safely.
