For 65 years, MedicAlert has been part of Canadians' lives — and this International Women's Day, we want to talk about something that doesn't get enough attention.
In Canada, 74% of women feel their health concerns aren't taken seriously, and 35% have been misdiagnosed or diagnosed too late (Maple, Closing the Care Gap, 2025). Women experiencing a heart attack are seven times more likely than men with the same symptoms to be misdiagnosed and sent home (The National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease).
Understanding these differences can make all the difference. Taking charge of your health means more than checkups. It means making sure that in an emergency, the people caring for you have the full picture — your conditions, your medications, your allergies.
That's exactly what a MedicAlert ID does. Because you deserve to be heard, especially when you can't speak for yourself.
