Park Medical Alert opens

Park Security Systems has unveiled a new sister company — Park Medical Alert.

The mobile medical alert device will allow customers and their older family members to experience peace of mind while maintaining their independence as they age.

Users of this Wi-Fi and GPS driven device will be able to carry their “safety net” with them, remaining confident that no matter how far they travel, their welfare will not be compromised. Any slip or fall will be detected, and an operator is always available in case of an emergency.

For more information, call 317-5815.
