The Life Assist Medical Alert System by VRI provides peace of mind for you and those who care for you – anytime, 24-hours a day.

• Your Personal Help Button (PHB) is waterproof and can be worn around your neck or wrist at all times. Just press the button if you need help.
• The Base Unit is activated once the PHB is pressed. The base unit becomes a source for two-way voice communication with the emergency response center.
• An emergency response center dispatcher will speak over the base unit to ask if you need help.
  The dispatcher will contact the help you need; whether it’s a neighbor, loved one or 911.
• If the response center cannot make voice contact, they will still call for help.

Contact VRI at (800) 860-4230 for more information.
