​

An Emergency “To-Go” Folder is a simple way to stay prepared. It’s a grab-and-go folder (paper or create your own digital) with the key information someone would need if you had to go to the ER, be admitted to the hospital, or if a family member had to step in quickly.

This is not about being dramatic. It’s about being ready.

What this folder is (and why it matters)

Your Emergency “To-Go” Folder helps you:

• Get faster, safer care in an emergency
• Reduce medication errors
• Make sure the right person is contacted
• Avoid repeating your story over and over
• Reduce stress for you and your family
