Description:	The Yellow Dot Program is part of the Essex County Triad Program/ Medical information (provided by the participants) is recorded on an information card. That persons picture is taken and attached to the information card and placed in a manila envelope which is kept in the glove compartment of their vehicles. A yellow sticker is provided for the participant to place on the lower left hand corner of the car’s rear window. Emergency personnel are specially trained to look for the ‘Yellow Dot’ to locate valuable medical information in the event of an accident or other medical emergency. This is extremely important if the participant is unable to communicate. The program is not limited to senior participants. ALL DANVERS RESIDENTS OF ALL AGES ARE WELCOME AND ENCOURAGED TO BE PART OF THE “YELLOW DOT” PROGRAM. Join us at our information booth in Danvers Square just prior to the band playing on Oldies Night. Also come learn about our “IS YOUR NUMBER UP?” street numbering program for residents and businesses, and our “R U OK” Program to provide scheduled computerized calls to check on house-bound residents, or those who like the comfort of a daily ‘wellness’ call. A list of volunteer Opportunities will also be available.
