The CARE Card is a custom made medical alert identification card designed to educate those you come in contact with on your special needs or limitation you may have in a respectful way. The CARE Card program was created and is overseen by a medical doctor and a police detective to ensure cards are logical, pertinent and consistent with the disabilities, illness and tips that are listed. They even personally review each card before they send them to you!
The CARE Card was created to fill the gaps of miscommunication and understanding between individuals with disabilities and first responders. When first responders are given information on a disability or the limitations of a medical illness, they can give the dignity to the person that is needed and helps create a positive interaction.
