Schools face the challenge of an increasing number of students coming to school with serious health issues – some life threatening. Knowing which students have a serious medical condition can help your school board better protect its students. Students protected by MedicAlert bring peace of mind to parents, principals and teachers. MedicAlert speaks for these children when the child cannot speak for themselves.

MedicAlert offers the following benefits through the No Child Without^® program:

Benefits to the Student:

• Identifies a child's health concerns in a medical emergency
• Immediate access by health professionals and first responders to a student's medical record through the MedicAlert 24-hour Emergency Hotline.
• MedicAlert bracelet or necklet custom engraved with the child's medical information, member ID number and the MedicAlert 24-hour Emergency Hotline number.
• Student's confidential medical record stored in a secure, centralized database.
• Confidentiality and privacy of members' information at all times.
• MedicAlert membership card listing the child's medications and the names and phone numbers of physicians and emergency contacts.
• My MedicAlert: secure online personal up-to-date medical record. Parents/guardians can update their child's medical information anytime.
• PLUS
  Every No Child Without^® member is given our Extended Emergency Services:
  • Notification of personal emergency contacts at the time of emergency.
  • Follow up with parents after emergency call is made to the Hotline.

Benefits to the School and School Board:

The No Child Without^® program was specifically designed to complement existing school emergency plans. While this program focuses on protecting children, No Child Without^® also helps school administrators and teachers face many of the healthcare challenges in schools today and school districts meet government regulations. In Ontario for example, the passing of Bill 3 (Sabrina's Law) requires schools to implement proper strategies to address the needs of children who are anaphylactic through a formal anaphylaxis management plan and recommends the wearing of MedicAlert. Other provinces across Canada have developed similar legislation.

MedicAlert:

• Supplements the emergency protocols already in place in the schools
• Assists to activate school emergency protocols instantly saving valuable time in an emergency
• Quickly identifies a child's medical condition to school staff.
• Protects students who have serious medical conditions by speaking for them when they cannot
