Lifeline

Lifeline, a fee-for-service program of HealthOutreach, is a home emergency response service.  Its purpose is to help people maintain their independence by providing them with access to emergency assistance 24 hours a day.  By pressing the waterproof button, usually worn around the neck, one is able to alert the Emergency Response Center that help is needed.  Our paramedic staff will call the home and, through the voice-to-voice communicator, determine what type of help is needed.  If necessary, they will send an ambulance or other assistance.
