Senator Kemp Hannon (R-Nassau) announces a FREE Senior I.D. Program on Wednesday, May 14th, from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm at the Hempstead Public Library (Located at 115 Nichols Court, Hempstead). 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.
