It typically includes details such as personal identification, emergency contacts, medical history, medications, allergies, health insurance and doctor information. This document serves as a critical tool for first responders, ensuring they have access to accurate health data, which can aid in delivering timely and informed care. Often, it’s kept in an easily accessible location, like on a refrigerator or in a wallet, for immediate retrieval.
