“I was traveling in an RV over the summer in Oregon. While I was on the trip, I fell. My daughter knew that I carried the MyPHRSC wallet card and retrieved it from my wallet and passed it on to the emergency room physician. The MyPHRSC wallet card was a lifesaver and I use my Personal Health Record regularly!” John, Lexington County
