Rescue Alert Celebrates 25 Years in the Medical Alarm Industry

Since its beginning in 1986, Rescue Alert has grown from a one-man operation to a leading provider of medical alert services

For the past 25 years, Rescue Alert has been working to provide quality medical alert products and services to individuals and families. In that time, the company has gained a reputation for innovation and cohesiveness and has grown to be a leader in the professional emergency resource services (PERS) industry.

The company has always been at the forefront of advancements in medical monitoring technology. Over the years, Rescue Alert systems have just gotten better and better, moving from a direct dialer system to today’s two-way voice unit that works over voice over IP or telephone lines. Through all of these improvements, Rescue Alert has kept the same core team of engineers to ensure consistency throughout all their models.

In addition to designing the end-user equipment, the engineers at Rescue Alert have had the responsibility of overseeing every aspect of the company’s emergency response center. The entire system: personal help button, base unit, and dispatcher, are all updated simultaneously and synergistically. This process has allowed Rescue Alert to achieve one of the fastest response times in the industry—the base unit on average connects to the response center within 30 seconds.

 As evidence of the way that Rescue Alert has grown, one only need look at the number of people the company employs. When Rescue Alert was incorporated in 1986, the company only had one employee. Now, more than 70 people work for Rescue Alert in a variety of positions, and the company is still hiring.

As a company, Rescue Alert’s purpose is to provide products and services that save the lives of thousands of people every month. The company makes people’s lives better by giving them options like medical bracelets and necklaces that are easy to wear. Rescue Alert has been helping its clients live independently and worry-free for 25 years now and will continue to do so for a long time to come.
