Senior ID program offers assistance to the elderly and medical responders
New York's Suffolk County Sherriff's Department has launched a new Senior ID program as a way to assist elderly residents and medical responders should an emergency situation arise. Each senior ID card includes a photo of the cardholder, along with his or her name, address, blood type and medical history, plus the name and phone number of their physician and emergency contact. ID programs like this are a great help to emergency responders, especially in situations when the individual requiring assistance is unable to communicate.
