We have had multiple patients press their medical alert pendant after their heart stopped beating for a short time, and because this remote technology enabled them to receive timely care, they survived. It’s clear Connect America cares about the patient as much as we do. By working with a reliable partner, we’ve been able to collaborate and problem-solve when needed to ensure the best possible patient outcomes."
