Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) orders

Ensure Your End-of-Life Wishes Are Respected
Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) orders are governed by special laws specific to each country, region or state. Most emergency responders in the US will initiate CPR or other life-prolonging measures unless they see a recognized Do-Not-Resuscitate (DNR) order for the patient. This can be linked to your emblem.

It is important for us to have your signed documents on file with us. Please research the DNR laws in your country, region or state. You may find this information from your primary care physician, local hospital, or health department.

For more information about DNR and advance directives repository services, contact MedicAlert Foundation at 888-633-4298 or Internationally at 1-209-668-3333.

It is important to discuss your care preferences and options with your physician and loved ones before completing a DNR order.
