 PROFILE
It's like having a guardian angel hovering above, but without the wings. With personal emergency response systems from American Medical Alert, the disabled, elderly, or infirm can speak to a medical dispatcher who will send help or contact relatives. The company also offers medication dispensing devices and fire and burglar alarm monitoring. The firm is expanding its services to include online physician referrals, appointment confirmation, and lab results. Nearly 95% of the company's sales come from the sale, leasing, and monitoring of its emergency response systems. American Medical Alert sells to consumers, hospitals, and retirement homes; the City of New York's Homecare Service program accounts for 35% of sales.
