Huron County EMS launches Cool Aid program
During a medical emergency,
every second counts. That’s why
Huron County EMS is distributing
information cards to residents that
will help paramedics provide vital
care in the early moments of an
emergency.
“When medical emergencies take
place at home, patients aren’t always
able to relay their medical
information to the responding
paramedics,” says Jeff Horseman,
Acting Chief of Emergency
Services. “This simple, low-tech
solution keeps a person’s critical
health information in one place and
has been shown to help paramedics
provide care when arriving to
person’s home.”
The card is designed to host health
information including an
individual’s drug prescription and
dosage, known allergies, medical
history and the phone numbers of
their emergency contacts. Each
person writes their own health
information on the card and attaches
it to the fridge using a magnet on the
back cover. This way, paramedics
always know where to look for it.
“We call it the ‘Cool Aid’ program
to remind people that the card is
meant to be stored on the fridge at
home,” explains Huron County
Paramedic Adam Robinson. “The
card’s front cover flips closed so
personal information isn’t displayed
to guests of the home.”
Huron County EMS encourages
anyone living in our communities
with a pre-existing medical issue,
including those taking prescription
drugs, to fill out and keep one of
these cards on their fridge at home.
Residents can pick up the ‘Cool Aid’
cards from any pharmacy operating
in Huron County.
