Saladino and Blakeman To Offer Free Health Information Cards to Residents

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino is partnering with Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman to provide residents with a Free Health Information Card through the Nassau County Department of Health. This ID card serves as an important tool in the event of an emergency as it allows first responders to quickly identify health and contact information. Photos and cards will be processed on-site, and residents will take their ID card home from the event.

Supervisor Saladino stated, “I’m proud to join with County Executive Bruce Blakeman to offer this potentially lifesaving program to our residents. These health ID cards can provide first responders with vital information if one becomes unconscious or incapacitated, making it easier to receive expedited and informed care in the case of a medical emergency.”

Residents will be able to obtain an ID card on the following dates:

• Tuesday, March 18, 2025 from 11:00am to 2:00pm at the Syosset Public Library- 225 S. Oyster Bay Road, Syosset, NY 11791
• Tuesday, April 1, 2025 from 11:00am to 2:00pm at the Bayville Free Library- 34 School Street Unit B, Bayville, NY 11709
• Tuesday, April 15, 2025 from 11:00am to 2:00pm at the Oyster Bay-East Norwich Library- 89 E. Main Street, Oyster Bay, NY 11771

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman stated, “Ensuring the safety and well-being of our residents is a top priority. By partnering with Supervisor Saladino on this important initiative, we’re making it easier for first responders to access critical health information in an emergency. This simple but effective tool can help save lives, and I encourage all residents to take advantage of this free program.”

The Health Information Card will include pertinent information such as allergies, medical conditions, and medications, as well as a photo and an emergency contact. For more information, please contact the Nassau County Department of Health at (516) 227-9697.
