After two months of relaxing summer fun, it’s time for kids to get ready to go back to school. And while it can be an exciting time, it can also be a stressful time for both children and parents. Kids worry about whether they will like their new teachers, whereas parents worry about buying school supplies and getting everyone back into a daily routine of waking up early and preparing lunch.
And, as a parent of a child with food allergies, the back-to-school routine comes with the added concern about managing food allergies at school.
This is where MedicAlert can help. MedicAlert is a charity that has protected 1 million Canadians for over 50 years. Here’s how.
MedicAlert is medical identification worn on the body, like jewelry, with a service plan attached to it to protect your child wherever they are. A MedicAlert medical ID shares critical information in case of an emergency. Over three-quarters of emergency responders and ER personnel are very likely to recommend a medical identification product and two-thirds are very likely to recommend MedicAlert1. Consequently, MedicAlert is the most trusted medical identification service in Canada.
Only MedicAlert includes a service plan with access to a 24/7 Emergency Hotline that relays key medical information to emergency responders within an average of five seconds. MedicAlert also notifies family in the event of an emergency.
IDs can be fun!
MedicAlert IDs come in a variety of styles and colours to satisfy even the pickiest of wearers. From plain stainless-steel bracelets to versatile sports bands, and even shoe tags for kids who refuse to wear a bracelet or necklace, there is an ID to fit every lifestyle and taste.

ADULT
MedicAlert IDs are also available as Swarovski® Elements bracelets, Fossil watches and Garmin activity trackers.
New school? New teacher? New friends? No problem. A MedicAlert ID and service plan means that others will know about your child’s food allergies. And should it be necessary, emergency responders will have the critical information they need, when they need it.
