Extract

From the Medic Alert Foundation International, PO Box 1009, Turlock, CA 95381 USA.

Medic Alert Foundation International is dedicated to the thesis that one universally recognized symbol of emergency medical identification will best serve all people. This is why Medic Alert conducts an active program to expand its services internationally.

Volunteer groups in 17 countries presently provide Medic Alert services to over 1.7 million people worldwide. The Foundation's purpose is to give a lifetime of fast reliable protection for a modest, one-time fee. Medic Alert is a non-profit, tax-exempt and charitable organization.

The volunteer organizations in these 17 countries are affiliated with the international headquarters in the United States, but each is autonomous in providing protection to the people of its nation. National boards and staffs actually deliver the total services to their members within their country.
