FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q: Why would I need this service for myself, my family or my employees?
Last year there were over 6 million car accidents and 20 million emergency room visits. On average it takes a hospital 6 hours to contact a family member of a patient that is unable to respond and doesn't have emergency contact information on them, in the event of an accident or medical emergency six hours can seem like a life time or a matter of life and death. For approximately 7 cents a day you can have the peace of mind knowing that if anything happens to you, your family or an employee we will begin notifying people on that persons contact list within 10 minutes of our staff being alerted.
