Medical IDs are Critical

NutriCoach.net recommends a medical ID for those living with chronic or rare medical conditions such as diabetes, asthma or heart conditions; persons with allergies such as food, drug or insect; and those taking multiple medications or blood thinners.

NutriCoach.net is proud to partner with Universal Medical ID to provide quality medical identification jewelry with a brief description of critical medical facts about you. It is the most personal and important accessory you can wear.

As the webmaster of this site I am happy to welcome Universal Medical ID as a site sponsor. I used to be embarrassed by the cheap tacky medical ID I used to wear. I got it from a grocery store and did not know at the time I could have a quality piece of jewelry that had all my relevant medical information engraved on the back. I love the medical ID bracelet from Universal Medical ID that I now wear.

In an emergency, properly engraved medical IDs provide time-saving and easy access to life-saving medical information.
Many symptoms in an emergency can easily be misdiagnosed without a medical ID.
Medical IDs can reduce medical errors, prevent minor emergencies from escalating and reduce medical costs.

Universal Medical ID creates high quality, customized medical identification jewelry to meet one's everyday lifestyle. The medical IDs are available with bracelets, necklaces, watches and sportbands, in gold, gold-filled, sterling silver, stainless steel, titanium and nylon. Each ID is custom fitted and personalized with complimentary engraving.

Universal Medical ID also provides a free Online Medical Registry, with purchase of a medical ID, where participants can maintain an online personal health file of their medical conditions, emergency contact information, prescriptions, over-the-counter medications and personal and medical files. This file can be accessed anytime through a secure online connection or a 24-hour emergency telephone line. The program also provides 24/7 unlimited access to a registered nurse for emergencies or ongoing health questions.
