2 Jewish Family Service Senior Adult Center Newsletter March 2016 FROM THE DESK OF RENE RUSGO Director of JFS Senior Adult Center and Senior Services Somethin to talk about, a line from a Bonnie Raitt song. We all like to talk about it, but do we really take the time to do something about it? If it was something so simple, something so easy, something that could save your life, or even that of a loved one, something that would take less than 10 minutes out of your day and done, you would do it- correct? You would do it in a heartbeat right?! Then here is something that could make a difference: ICE (In Case of Emergency). I want to share from a colleague who recently wrote in her blog about this and I thought it was worth sharing, thank you Diana Waugh of Waugh Consulting. Happy Birthday Wishing all of our friends who are celebrating a March birthday a very special day and a healthy year! Consider this: You are at the theater getting ready to watch a great show and you have a medical emergency! The rescue squad arrives and they want to know about you and your medical information. There is a quick and effective way to get them the information they need right away! If you have a smartphone take a moment to look at the ICE app. It provides them with vital information about you, any medical conditions you have, your medications, your contacts, your allergies, photos of your medical cards and your driver s license (if applicable). When a medical emergency occurs, this is the information those helping you need immediately to provide the most individualized care possible. Minutes count! If your smartphone has a medical emergency app built in, fill it out and you re set. If not, check out this lifesaving app at the App Store or on Google Play. It is easy to enter your data, I did it in just a few minutes! An icon will appear on your phone so the healthcare professionals simply need to click to learn about you. Tell your friends the most helpful thing they can do is to say: Check their phone for the ICE information. Tell them to get their own ICE app too! You ll want to share your password with the person you have as an emergency contact on your phone s lock screen also. Encourage your family and friends to get their own ICE app it is not just for older folks. This app works for young folks, old folks, and anyone in between. Take a moment to gather your medical information and be ready to help the helpers! I can tell you that every medical professional is encouraging everyone to use this app, because everyone has a medical history, and when you have a medical emergency that requires your information in one place, this is an easy access. Need help with your smart phone? If so, contact Rene or Emily and you will be set up with a volunteer to assist and teach you! René A. Rusgo WEATHER ADVISORY CLOSING INFORMATION LEVEL 1: Open Bus running LEVEL 2: Open / Events may be modified Bus subject to road conditions please call center LEVEL 3: Closed Closings and delays will be placed on all 3 major networks - CBS, ABC & NBC.
