I can email you a Microsoft Word Template for FREE--just email me and be patient for a few days (I don't check that account daily).

Here are my criteria for developing my template--hopefully this is helpful to you.

Make sure it’s all on one side of one page, so that medical personnel can photocopy it easily and so that they won’t miss any information on the back side of the card.

Make sure it can be cut and folded down to the size of a business card or slightly smaller.

If your wallet has a front display “window” for your driver’s license, use that display window instead for your medical alert card.

Use easy-to-read fonts, such as Arial or Tahoma, NOT Times, comic sans, or Century Schoolbook.

No photos or graphics or cute things—this card is what your life might literally depend upon. It’s no joke and you don’t want any emergency responders to think it is, either.

If you use a service dog, be sure to mention that on your card also: “Please locate my service dog [name], a [color of dog] [breed of dog]. Be sure to keep him/her with me at all times, per the ADA.”

Below is a template you may use to customize your own medical alert card (just delete or replace everything that is highlighted with your own information). I would be happy to email you the Microsoft Word template for this. If you would like a copy, please send me an email and give me a few days to respond.





~ May you never have an emergency need to use this card. ~
