A Gift For You Dot Program

Have you ever wondered, what
would happen if you got into a car
crash and you were unconscious?
Have you thought to yourself…
how would anyone know what my
medical history is; or how would
they know about the medications I am
taking; or the medicines I’m allergic
to; or better yet, how would they
know what hospital that I want
to go to…? Who would call my
family and let them know I’ve been
hurt? How would they even know how
to get in touch with my family?

worry about that anymore. Palm Beach County Fire
