Free Senior ID Program
Thursday, September 18th, from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm at the East Meadow Public Library
Senator Kemp Hannon (R-Nassau) announces a FREE Senior I.D. Program on Thursday, September 18th, from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm at the East Meadow Public Library (Located at 1886 Front Street, East Meadow). This program is being held in conjunction with Town of Hempstead Supervisor Kate Murray and Town Clerk Nasrin G. Ahmad. There is no fee.
The program allows seniors to obtain a free wallet-sized ID card which includes a photo, the holder’s personal contact information (name, address, phone number, date of birth), and an emergency contact name and phone number which could be useful to emergency responders. Seniors can carry the card in their wallet so that emergency responders will know who to contact if the senior is in an emergency situation and cannot communicate.
The Senior ID card:
- Includes your personal contact information
- Includes your photo
- Lists an emergency contact name and phone number
- Is helpful to police, fire or ambulance responders in an emergency situation
To make the process as smooth and quick as possible, seniors should have the following information with them:
- Emergency Contact Person (Name & Phone Number)
- Name of doctor and phone number
- Allergies (if any), for example “penicillin”
- Medical conditions (if any), for example “diabetes”
- Blood type
For information and directions, contact Senator Hannon’s Community Office at 516-739-1700 or E-mail him at hannon@nysenate.gov.
