BROOMALL, Penn., May 20, 2013—Medical Alert announces the expansion of its Connect and Protect Dealer Program. A Medical Alert device is a personal emergency response system that is used for any medical, fire, or police emergency. Through the Connect and Protect Dealer Program independent dealers have the opportunity to build-long term, incremental income in an ever-expanding market of seniors.

According to the U.S Census Bureau, there will be approximately 54.8 million people over the age of 65 in the year 2020 and out of that number 6.5 million will be over the age of 85. With the average cost of a shared room in a skilled care nursing home being upwards of $65,000 per year, more and more seniors will want to remain independent and in their homes as long as possible. The “Silver Tsunami” has barely begun and the growth potential in this business is endless.

Program highlights include no startup fees, generous commission payments, a comprehensive Medical Alert system package and complete fulfillment services. Other benefits are flexible branding options, a UL-listed monitoring center and a dedicated account manager.

Medical Alert is one of the fastest growing medical alert companies in the United States, with over 35 years of experience in the business. The company offers the best technology in the medical alert category, including wireless solutions for customers without phone lines. All marketing materials will be provided. With the Connect and Protect Program, dealers will gain additional revenues for their business and provide a product that their customers and clients want and need. There are no startup fees to participate. Call 800-722-7552 or go to www.connectandprotect.com for more information.
