Great article discussing the importance of a medical alarm system and also listing the top 6 providers in the industry.

Maintaining independence as we grow older is very important to our mental health. However, when living alone, there is always the concern that a medical emergency may occur and no one will be near to dispatch emergency medical services. As a safe-guard, medical alarm systems can be used. Medical alarm systems provide a direct link, within easy reach, to trained medical personnel.

Hospital Transports

It’s a great feeling when we discover that our service offering makes a difference for so many people across the nation. 1600+ to be exact.

Recently, I was responsible for tallying up the number of times our monitoring center received an emergency request for a hospital transport. The numbers were staggaring. From January 2007 to the end of November, there was a total of 1680 reported transport incidents. All the hard work and dedication that our team puts forth is worth it when we find results like this.

I decided to give a few of our customers a call and all of them were satisfied with the service and quick response time. Here’s a testimonial from one of our clients…

I was very pleased with the service. A wound ruptured in my stomach as I was sitting at home one night. The monitoring center immediately responded and stayed on the phone with me until the paramedics came to take me to the hospital. This is a great service and I’ll be keeping it for a very long time.
