Nurses plan to hand out 50,000 ID cards
The Visiting Nurse Association of Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky plans to distribute 50,000 emergency information ID cards over the next three years.
The cards were developed this year after a volunteer suffered a medical emergency at the VNA offices in Walnut Hills. At the time, the woman carried no emergency information.
The new cards, already distributed to all VNA volunteers and about 2,500 others, include space for emergency contacts, allergies, medications and other items.
To get a free card, call the VNA at 345-8061.
